Xander Bogaerts Homers Twice On Wednesday
5 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts added to his career-best home run total on Wednesday, hitting his 29th and 30th bombs of the season, propelling the Red Sox to a 7-4 victory over the Rockies. Bogaerts went 3-for-4 in the game with a walk and three RBI. He is now slashing .311/.389/.577 with 30 home runs, 100 runs and 100 RBI on the year. His .404 wOBA ranks amongst the top 3% of the year and he's maintained career-best marks in hard-hit rate (44.1%), exit velocity (90.8) and launch angle (13.9) this season. Bogaerts has solidified himself as a fantasy stud with this career-best season of his and will likely be targeted in the late second round of fantasy drafts next year, if not earlier.
