After the devers had appeared ten times in the first three games of the season, he set up an MLB record. According to the baseball reference, he has been the first striker since 1901 without a hit with at least 15 strikes in the first five games of his team.

The problems on the plate are a continuation of the end of the 2024 season of Devers 2024 when he went 1:15 in his last four games with eleven strikes. He ended with an average value of 0.272, 28 Home Runs and 83 RBI. He achieved a career high 147 times.

The 28 -year -old devers made noise in spring training when he insisted that he was not interested in the third basis for Alex Bregman, a winner of the gold glove that signed with the Red Sox in winter. Devers is one of the worst third basemen in baseball over several advanced metrics, including above -average (OAA) and Fielding -Run Value (FRV).
