Red Sox Xander Bogaerts reaches 1,000 career hits before 27th birthday

Xander Bogaerts, a name baseball fans are going to remember in 2019. The Boston Red Sox shortstop has once again produced noteworthy numbers worth celebrating during a four-game home stance against the New York Yankees. The arch-rivals see a lot of each other, so it’s no big surprise that Xander puts up numbers against them.

The young 26-year old Arubian shortstop was drafted out of high school. He made his MLB debut in August 2013 when he was 20. Over his 7 years in the majors, he’s been to 2 World Series, 2 All-Star Games, and he’s been a Silver Slugger 2 times.
