Red Sox prospect Jarren Duran spent the summer trying to figure out why his MLB debut didn’t quite go as planned.
Duran was a highly anticipated prospect after an impressive showing with the Worcester Red Sox, but when the Red Sox called him up, he struggled — slashing .215/.241/.336 in 33 games and 112 plate appearances with the big-league club.
Duran said he felt pressure to play a certain way once he traveled 45 minutes east to Boston.
“In the big leagues, it just felt like more,” Duran said, per MassLive’s Chris Cotillo.
