Boston Red Sox Report Cards: Center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr.

2018 was a rollercoaster season for Jackie Bradley Jr. After a poor first half, he turned it around and became one of the postseason’s biggest heroes.

For the whole season, Bradley had a .234 average with 13 home runs and 59 RBI. All of these numbers continued a downward trend since his best season in 2016 when he was an All-Star. But in 2018, he had a career-high in doubles with 33, and stolen bases with 17. His previous high in stolen bases was nine. He was also caught stealing just once.

But his defense was, as expected, the highlight of his season.
