The Boston Red Sox called up top hitting prospect Michael Chavis when their infield was hit with a rash of injuries. The 23-year old has impressed in his short time at the major league level, which will make it difficult to send him back to Triple-A once the roster starts getting healthier.
It’s only been six games yet Chavis has shown that his bat can play at this level. Ignore the .222 batting average. Chavis has been the victim of some bad luck with a .200 BABIP that is among the lowest in the league. That figure screams for positive regression, a certainty that becomes only more clear when you dig deeper into analyzing his production.
