Rafael Devers Faces Historic Slump to Start Season

Boston Red Sox star Rafael Devers is enduring a nightmarish start to the season, currently holding the record for the most strikeouts in the first three games of an MLB season with a staggering 10 strikeouts. His performance has sparked concern among fans, as he struggles to adjust to a full-time designated hitter role and is off to a historic 0-for-16 start, racking up a total of 12 strikeouts in the first four games. Former player Jonathan Papelbon has publicly criticized Devers for his weight, suggesting that adjustments might be necessary for him to bounce back from this unprecedented slump. Despite the challenges, Red Sox management has expressed hope that interventions will help Devers turn his performance around as the team seeks solutions to their offensive woes.
