BOSTON — Red Sox legend Jason Varitek took batting practice Tuesday at Fenway Park to determine the order of the team’s 2025 fantasy football draft.

Each baseball contained the name of a different player, coach or staff member participating in the fantasy football league, with the draft order determined by which balls Varitek hit the farthest.

Varitek, a switch-hitter during his 15-year major league career, batted from the right side. Red Sox players went ballistic when the 53-year-old game planning and run prevention coach fouled a ball off the top of the batting cage.

Players rushed to see whose name was on the foul ball. It belonged to right-handed reliever Greg Weissert, who became the unlucky fantasy team owner with the final pick.
