Red Sox infielder Michael Chavis must lay off high fastballs

“Lay off the high ones,” warns Dottie. “I like the high ones,” a defiant Kit fires back. We’re reminded of the classic dialogue from A League of Their Own when Michael Chavis steps to the plate. The young infielder had a bit of Kit Keller in him during his rookie campaign with the Boston Red Sox.

Chavis impressed in his first taste of the big leagues, showcasing his impressive raw power and a knack for coming through in clutch moments. As with most young hitters, he struggled once opposing pitchers found his weaknesses.
