When the 2016 season began, the Boston Red Sox starting outfield was Brock Holt, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Mookie Betts, left to right. As of right now, that outfield has fulfilled expectations and then some. We have JBJ currently riding a 19-game hit streak, Holt being the dirt dog we know and love, and Betts playing stellar defense so far in his new everyday position.
But as of late, the Red Sox have been playing backup outfielder Chris Young more often due to the fact they have been facing many left-handed pitchers and Young’s resume vs LHP is quite impressive.
