Players to Watch: Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Boston Red Sox
Arizona Diamondbacks
Gabriel Moreno — C. Behind the plate, Gabriel Moreno is turning in one of the most productive seasons of his career, hitting .308 with a .385 on-base percentage. His .470 slugging mark ranks just behind Corbin Carroll’s .486 mark, giving Arizona power from two very different spots in the lineup.
Corbin Carroll — RF. Corbin Carroll leads the Diamondbacks with 18 home runs and a .486 slugging percentage, both well ahead of Moreno’s 10 home runs and .470 mark. He has also reached base at a .345 clip, giving Arizona length at the top of the order.
Geraldo Perdomo — SS. Shortstop Geraldo Perdomo has settled into a table-setting role for Arizona, reaching base at a .356 clip while driving in 43 runs and adding 9 home runs of his own. His .374 slugging percentage sits well below Carroll’s .486 mark, a reminder that his value leans more on patience than power.
Boston Red Sox
Willson Contreras — 1B. Willson Contreras has been the engine of Boston’s offense, driving in 74 runs and launching 25 home runs to go with a .283 average. His .535 slugging percentage tops every regular in the Red Sox lineup, well clear of Ceddanne Rafaela’s .468 mark in center field.
Ceddanne Rafaela — CF. Ceddanne Rafaela continues to hold down center field for Boston while chipping in real power from the bottom of the order, hitting .287 with 16 home runs and 64 runs batted in. His .468 slugging percentage sits just a tick below Wilyer Abreu’s .469 mark, making the two nearly interchangeable as complementary threats behind Contreras.
Wilyer Abreu — RF. In right field, Wilyer Abreu has nearly matched Rafaela’s production, batting .257 with 22 home runs and 67 runs batted in. His .336 on-base percentage trails only Contreras’ .393 mark among Boston’s regulars, giving the Red Sox a third hitter capable of doing damage.
