Jarren Duran’s emergence to stardom is much to thank for the Red Sox’s overachieving at the midway point of a season in which they were expected to be nonfactors.
Jarren Duran’s emergence to stardom is much to thank for the Red Sox’s overachieving at the midway point of anAn incendiary June performance when Duran posted a .420 slug percentage led him to becoming the first player in American League history to record 100 hits, 10 triples, 10 home runs and 20 stolen bases before the All-Star break.
This milestone has translated to Duran standing as the No. 5 overall player in wins above replacement heading into Yankee Stadium against Nestor Cortes on Friday. Things have been trending in the opposite direction for Cortes, who’s been struggling with yielding early hits and lost his past two starts.Duran has reached extra bases on fastballs more than any other pitch type; he’s slamming them for a .283 average.
Mind you, Cortes has been exceptionally better at home than on the road, though given Duran’s output, it’s safer than not to ignore those splits. Jarren Duran of the Boston Red Sox reacts after scoring off a throwing error made by Jose Trevino of the New York Yankees, not pictured, during the eighth inning at Fenway Park on June 15, 2024 in Boston.Cortes surrendered a hit to Duran the only time they faced each other in the big leagues, but what’s more is that Duran was hitting .315 against left-handed pitching on the road entering play Thursday.
