How batting practice with a Red Sox legend helped Jarren Duran
Jarren Duran is hitting .360 in his first 21 games with the Red Sox this season.So far this season, Jarren Duran has consistently shown talents at the plate that he’s hinted at over the past few years with the Red Sox.
The 26-year-old outfielder began the year at Worcester but was called up to the majors after Adam Duvall went down with a wrist injury just a week and a half into the season.
Over his past 21 games with the Red Sox, Duran is slashing .360/.405/.587, has stolen a team-high five bases, and has played above average defense in centerfield.
He’s shown power to all parts of the field and leads the Red Sox in doubles with 11 despite playing in 15 fewer games than the other starters.
