The Boston Red Sox fell well short of expectations in the standings but that doesn’t mean 2019 was a complete bust. There are several players worthy of recognition for their accomplishments, including a trio of hitters who combined to make history.
The Red Sox lineup featured three hitters with a batting average above .300 and 30+ home runs.
J.D. Martinez – .304 AVG, 36 HR
Xander Bogaerts – .309 AVG, 33 HR
Rafael Devers – .311 AVG, 32 HR
It’s the first time in franchise history that three players reached those totals in the same season and the Red Sox are only the 10th major league team to ever do it.
