Xander Bogaerts Off To Hot Start To The Month
4 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts has been fantastic through the early going this year and he has especially turned up his game so far in May. Through his first four games this month, Bogaerts has gone 8-for-18 with two home runs, one double, four RBI and seven runs. He's slashing .444/.474/.833 over the four-game stretch. Bogaerts has an 11.6% barrel rate so far this year, up from 8.6% last year. His average launch angle is also up from 8.7 degrees last year to 11 degrees this year. Bogaerts should have a big year ahead, especially with an improved offense supporting him.
