Trevor Story has been one of the best stories in baseball this season, regardless of team. What once appeared to be a lost cause and eventual DFA has turned into one of the key pieces of Alex Cora's lineup, and one of the key factors in the Red Sox's postseason chances.
Story began the year struggling badly at the plate, and the walls started closing in throughout May. During that month, the veteran shortstop slashed .158/.200/.232 with a 34.7% strikeout rate, good for a paltry 13 wRC+. By that latter metric, he was 87% worse than the league-average hitter in May.
