Boston Red Sox fans affectionately referred to Mitch Moreland as “Two Bags” for his propensity for racking up doubles last season and the nickname has evolved into “Four Bags” now that he’s piling up home runs.
Moreland belted his 11th home run of the season during Friday night’s win over the Seattle Mariners, tying him for eighth in the majors. He’ll still hit the occasional double, tallying six so far, but his power stroke has resulted in the ball leaving the park at a far greater rate than we’ve ever seen from the veteran first baseman.
