Here's the latest ridiculous stat from the breakout season of Red Sox 3B Rafael Devers

Share

The eye-popping Rafael Devers' stats just keep on coming.

His ninth-inning home run Wednesday night at Coors Field in the Red Sox' 7-4 victory over the Rockies also marked his 200th career RBI.

That's 200 RBI at the age of 22. He's only the fourth player in Red Sox history to accomplish that. (h/t @ESPNStatsinfo)

The others? Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Bobby Doerr, and Tony Conigliaro. 

Devers broke out of an 0-for-15 slide in a big way with a 3-for-5 night that included his 28th homer and a triple to give him 80 extra-base hits on the season. Despite the recent slide, the third baseman still leads the majors in hits with 174 and is hitting .326.

Only one other Red Sox player had 80 or more extra-base hits at 22. It was Williams in his rookie year of 1939 and again in 1940. (h/t @BostonSportsInf)

Next up will be the 30-homer, 50-double mark (Devers leads MLB with 48 two-baggers). With teammate Xander Bogaerts hitting his 30th homer Wednesday and also closing in on 50 doubles with 46, they'll be the first teammates ever to accomplish the feat in the same season. (h/t @SoxNotes)
