"I was kind of nervous," Rafaela told reporters, per The BostonGlobe. "I didn't know what was going to happen in that moment. I've been waiting for it all spring. Obviously, I was excited. To see the (offseason) work pay off, obviously it's good. But I've got to keep working, keep getting better. I want to have a long season through October."
Expectations should be tempered for Rafaela, who only has 28 games of big-league experience. But Cora and company clearly see great potential in the Curacoa native, and he's in line to play an important role for the Red Sox this season.
