Could Move To Shortstop Be The Key To Unlock Marcelo Mayer's Potential?
Marcelo Mayer is set to play shortstop for the Boston Red Sox due to Trevor Story's injury. This move could potentially unlock Mayer's offensive capabilities, as he has struggled at the plate in his sophomore season. Historical examples suggest that players often perform better when positioned at their natural positions.
- ▪Trevor Story is out for six to ten weeks after surgery, allowing Mayer to take over shortstop.
- ▪Mayer's performance has been underwhelming, with a .214 batting average this season.
- ▪Historically, players like Ceddanne Rafaela and Xander Bogaerts have improved when moved to their natural positions.
