10 years ago, the Boston Red Sox would sign a young man out of Aruba by the name of Xander Bogaerts. He would later make his first appearance with the club in 2013 and played in the World Series… as a 20-year-old. Pretty crazy stuff.
His first full year as a rookie didn’t necessarily go as planned, as he’d hit .240 with an OPS of only .660. The Red Sox never gave up on the kid, however, as they would really work with him in 2015 to have a higher batting average, and that’s exactly what would happen.
