Related Topics: Boston Red Sox

Offensively, Wong made strides. He improved his slash line from .235/.288/.385 to .280/.333/.425. If you’re a nerd and want to see how that stacks up with the rest of the league, his wRC+ increased from 78 to 110. If you’re not a nerd and don’t know what I’m talking about, in 2023 Wong created 22% fewer runs than the average player whereas in 2024 he created 10% more runs than the average hitter. He was particularly successful against lefties, slashing .311/.388/.489.

How’d he do it? The biggest change can be found in his plate discipline numbers.
