Michael Chavis certainly made a name for himself in his first season in the majors. After his call-up back in mid-April, Chavis fit right in with the Boston Red Sox and made it clear to everyone that he was ready to stay and play at this level.
In a year where the Red Sox had plenty of injury problems at first and second base, Chavis’ adaptability became vital for the majority of the year as he filled in all around the infield.
Chavis appeared in 95 games during his first MLB season. He instantly became a fan favorite – receiving the nickname ‘Ice Horse’ from the Section 10 Podcast hosts, which fans adopted.
