Mickey Gasper has made it.

The former Merrimack High School and Nashua Silver Knight standout has been called up today by the Boston Red Sox and is expected to be at Fenway Park for tonight’s game against the Texas Rangers.

Gasper, 28, a catcher-infielder-DH who was drafted in the 27th round by the New York Yankees in the 2018 MLB draft, was a Minor League Rule 5 Draft selection off the Yankee minor league rosters last December after six years in the Yankees organization.

His career this season has taken off, especially after he was promoted to Triple A Worcester on June 4. In 40 games with the Worcester Red Sox, Gasper hit an incredible .401 (55 for 137) with a 1.017 OPS, 12 doubles, eight home runs and 32 RBIs in 40 games.

Ironically, he was named International League Player of the Week today after hitting .579 (11 for 19) in five games from August 6-10.
