The Red Sox’ patience in rookie Triston Casas is finally starting to pay off.
While most of the praise for Boston’s next wave of talent has centered around names like Jarren Duran and Brayan Bello in 2023, Casas has firmly injected himself into the conversations thanks to his latest heater at the plate.
After slashing .193/.308/.359 with six home runs and 49 strikeouts in his first 47 games of the season, the 23-year-old first baseman has completely turned his game around. In his last 30 games, Casas is batting .357 and posting a 1.126 OPS, including eight home runs, 19 RBI, and 15 walks.
