Rafael Devers likely to be even bigger part of Boston offense

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — His baby face and near constant smile may make him appear younger than his 23 years.

But third baseman Rafael Devers already has parts of three seasons and a World Series championship on his resume. And after finishing 12th in American League MVP voting in his breakout 2019, the Red Sox believe Devers hasn’t approached his ceiling yet.

Devers hit .311 with 32 homers, 115 RBIs, an AL-leading 54 doubles, and a major league-leading 90 extra-base hits last season. He led the Red Sox in games played (156), hits (201), and average.
