Rob Refsnyder Faces Live Pitching On Wednesday
1 day agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Rob Refsnyder (forearm) took live batting practice on Wednesday in camp against right-hander Zack Kelly and turned on a high-90s fastball for a home run. Refsnyder finished last year on the injured list due to a right-forearm strain, but he appears to be fully healthy now and should be ready for Opening Day in late March. The 33-year-old veteran should resume his role on the short side of a platoon for the Red Sox in the outfield and at designated hitter against left-handed pitchers. The South Korean native and former fifth-rounder by the New York Yankees in 2012 out of the University of Arizona hit an impressive .283/.359/.471 with an .830 OPS, 11 home runs and 40 RBI in 272 total at-bats in 2024. He has a career .277/.380/.419 slash line against lefties but lacks a ton of power and will have a limited workload for Boston.
