There have been plenty of issues plaguing the Boston Red Sox this season but the most baffling may be the sudden disappearance of Rafael Devers‘ power stroke.
It wouldn’t be quite accurate to label this drought a slump. In some regards, Devers has been one of the team’s best hitters. His .287 average and .380 OBP both represent career-highs. His six doubles are tied for the fourth most of the team and only two behind Mookie Betts for the lead. Yet here we are a month into the season and Devers hasn’t hit a home run.
