Rafael Devers Showing Elite Peripherals In 2021
4 years agoBoston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has some strong surface numbers so far this year. Through 28 games, he's slashing .282/.370/.563 with seven home runs, eight doubles, 21 RBI and 16 runs. However, it's the peripheral stats that should really excite fantasy managers who drafted Devers this year. Devers currently ranks in the top 1% of the league in xwOBA (.479), xSLG (.728) and barrel rate (21.8%). Additionally, his .350 xBA suggests that there's plenty of room for growth in his batting average. Devers has been great so far this year, but even better times could be ahead.
