The Red Sox have tormented opposing pitchers this season, ranking first in MLB in doubles (80), third in both runs scored (208) and team batting average (.271), and fourth in OPS (.793).
That sterling production at the plate is also carrying over to the minor leagues, especially with Boston’s top prospect, Marcelo Mayer.
Mayer, tabbed by MLB.com as the game’s 7th-ranked prospect in the game, is currently on a tear with the High-A Greenville Drive.
The 20-year-old shortstop went 4-for-4 at the plate on Sunday afternoon against the Asheville Tourists, headlined by a solo shot out to deep center.
