He has 15 three-hit games, tied for the third-most in the American League (leaders Jose Altuve and Jason Kipnis have 17), putting him on pace to become the 12th shortstop ever and the first since Alex Rodriguez in 1996 to post at least a .315 average and .750 OPS at age 22 or younger. His ability to hit for average on a consistent basis has elevated Bogaerts into rare company. <b>By hitting .312 in June, .371 in July, and .324 in August, Bogaerts joined Rodriguez (June-August, 1996) and Ken Griffey Jr. (July-September, 1992) as the only players ever to hit .310 or better in three straight months at age 22 or younger</b>, according to Elias. Meanwhile, the ball he sent screaming over the Green Monster offered a reminder that there is considerable raw power into which he eventually may tap."allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-60904096424421446402015-09-02T10:42:41.884-07:002015-09-02T10:42:41.884-07:00Moving is hell.Moving is hell.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
