The Boston Red Sox are off to a 1-3 start to the 2025 season. As is typically the case this early in the year, some players are overachieving while others have thus far underperformed. There’s no reason to hit the “panic” button just yet — or is there? What if the opening series against the Texas Rangers is indeed indicative of what awaits over the next 158 games? Let’s overreact to these early results, both the sweet and the sour.
Abreu And Campbell Are All-Stars Two of the Red Sox’s youngest starters doing the most damage at the dish. Wilyer Abreu is hitting an absurd .700/.
800/1.500 with two home runs and six RBI. The second-year player and reigning American League Gold Glove right fielder has also drawn five walks.
If Abreu stays hot, Rob Refsnyder may end up seeing less of the proposed right field platoon than expected. But the biggest surprise is Kristian Campbell . The rookie second baseman hit a mere .
167/.305/.271 in Spring Training yet manager Alex Cora named him the Opening Day starter.
Campbell has rewarded that trust with a .429/.500/.
786 line to start his big-league career. And he mashed his first home run on March 29. However, promising as these youngsters are performing, they’re receiving little support from their teammates.
Red Sox Sluggers Can’t Hit The Red Sox’s two primary power hitters have yet to produce any power. And they only have one hit between them so far. Designated hitter Rafael Devers ’ season began in infamous fashion.
On Ma.
