J.D. Martinez Off To Solid Start
3 years agoBoston Red Sox outfielder and designated hitter J.D. Martinez is off to a quality start at the plate this season. The slugger is batting .250 with a .342 on-base percentage and a home run in 38 plate appearances for the Red Sox entering play on Monday. One of the best home run hitters in the sport, Martinez has batted cleanup for Boston in every game this season and should continue to benefit from hitting in the middle of a lineup that also features Rafael Devers, Trevor Story, and Xander Bogaerts. While he only has one home run so far, more should be on the way. The 34-year-old has already collected four barrels.
