The results haven’t been there for Rafael Devers so far this season, with just an 80 wRC+. Understandably, the Boston Red Sox third baseman has left fans a bit cold. Despite the poor numbers, he hasn’t been swinging the bat that badly. Devers is still tied for 93rd in Brls/PA which is solid, but not great. And his average exit velocity of 92.2 MPH is seventeenth best in all MLB. He’s hitting it hard, and he’s doing it fairly often. But a .283 BABIP is keeping his numbers down a bit, which is a bit of an oddity. His hard, medium and soft contact rates are very similar to his brief 2017 stint.
