Rafael Devers finished 12th in the American League MVP voting in 2019 for the Boston Red Sox. Currently, he’s not ranked in the top ten for odds in 2020 by TheLines.com. Is the dynamic third baseman being overlooked for MVP?
The leap made from Devers from year one to year two was exactly what the Red Sox were hoping for. He improved his batting average by .071 points and his on-base percentage by .063 points, becoming one of the most dynamic hitters in the Boston lineup.
In fact, he was second on the Red Sox in Wins Above Replacement and fifth in the American League in Offensive WAR.
