In 2022, the Red Sox hit 155 team home runs, ranking 20th in all of baseball. Through just over a month of baseball in 2023, the Sox have hit 43, already more than a quarter of the way to their previous season’s total and 5th-most in the league. Up and down the lineup, we’ve seen some impactful homers, from walk-off winners to downright bombastic shots that punctuate the nature of this ballclub. It’s contributed to a Red Sox team that’s actually succeeding despite expectations, injuries, and just the sheer quality of competition both in the AL East and beyond.
