MLB Players Power Rankings: Top 10 Hitters in Week-8

MLB Players Power Rankings (3): Rafael Devers, Boston Red Sox

Week-8 Stats: 1.000 SLG | 0.613 wOBA | 293 wRC+ | 0.8 fWAR

In Week-8, Rafael Devers returns to the top 10 list and this time, he has catapulted up to the three slot, and deservedly so. At one point this season, it was debated whether Devers was a bust, but since then he has established himself as a force to be reckoned with the in the already deep Red Sox lineup.

In a roster that includes the likes of Mookie Betts, J.D. Martinez, Xander Bogaerts, and Chris Sale just to name a few, Devers has the 2nd best fWAR according to FanGraphs. What’s more, defensively, Devers has made vast improvements as well.

If Devers can manage to continue to improve his game, the Red Sox can rest assured that their future is in good hands. With J.D. Martinez set to potentially test free agency after this season and Betts’ future with the Sox hanging in the balance – he can become a free agent after 2020 – Devers could potentially become the face of the organization.

So far, that’s not looking like such a bad proposition.
