Rafael Devers is an extra-base hitting machine. During Tuesday night’s game in Toronto, the Boston Red Sox third baseman collected his major league-leading 50th double of the season.
The 22-year old is the youngest Red Sox player ever to hit 50+ doubles in a season. This is a rare accomplishment for players of any age. Only 95 MLB players have recorded at least 50 doubles in a season in the modern era (since 1900). Devers accounts for only the ninth time that a Red Sox player has done it and the first since Dustin Pedroia‘s MVP campaign in 2008.
