It’s not enough to credit Rafael Devers for emerging as one of the league’s best hitters this season. What the Boston Red Sox third baseman produced was historically great for a player his age.
The 22-year old set career-highs across the board, hitting .311 with a .916 OPS, 32 home runs and 115 RBI. Devers was second in the American League with 201 hits and became the youngest player in franchise history to record a 200-hit season.
Devers led the league with 54 doubles, making him the youngest player in franchise history to reach 50+ doubles in a season.
