Both Steve Pearce and Mitch Moreland were important to the success of the Red Sox in 2018. Moreland was the rock at first all season while Pearce was a trade window addition that earned his spot. Both stake their claim to first base and with good reason.
Pearce will be remembered more for what he did with his bat during his time in Boston. Whether it was crushing balls out of Yankee Stadium or silencing the Dodger Stadium crowd. It seemed like Pearce was automatic when it came to big game moments in 2018.
