Every baseball season it seems one star struggles mightily out of the gate to start the season, and this year that star is Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers. The three-time All-Star has 27 at-bats to his name this season—and in those at-bats he has three hits against 16 strikeouts.

It’s no secret that Boston Red Sox designated hitter and former third baseman Rafael Devers is off to a slow start. Amid the offseason controversy over the addition of Alex Bregman to play the hot corner and Devers being forced into a DH role, the lifelong Red Sox has not seemed too pleased with his organization.

Rafael Devers still isn't out of what's been a nightmarish start to his 2025 season. But the Boston Red Sox designated hitter was eventually going to get his first hit. A turnaround had to start somewhere.
