Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has off to a disappointing start in his Texas debut, going 0 for 12 with 10 strikeouts in three games. The feat is an MLB record and raises concerns about the popular player’s struggles at the plate.
Devers, known as “Carita,” or “Baby Face” due to his unassuming personality, has always been a reliable hitter with a strong work ethic. He attributes his success to a simple approach: watch the ball, hit the ball, and focus on his own game. However, despite his efforts, Devers’ performance in Texas is not living up to expectations.
With a career record of strikes against him, Devers faces a daunting task in rectifying his form. Can he bounce back from this slump and regain his reputation as one of the Red Sox’s most consistent hitters?
