The Boston Red Sox are coming off a nice sweep against the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend. The bats came to life this weekend but for Mitch Moreland, his bat has been a big contributor in the early part of the 2019 season.
Moreland leads the Red Sox with 7 home runs and 14 RBI. He has a .258 batting average, .652 slugging percentage, and a .971 OPS. The veteran first baseman is on his way to a career year and this success stems from crushing fastballs.
When Moreland hits the four-seam fastball, his exit velocity is the highest it’s been in his career at 94.
