Marcelo Mayer is establishing himself as a significant player for the Boston Red Sox, not just for his power but for a combination of elite defense and hitting skills. In his early days in the big leagues in 2023, Mayer has demonstrated his potential with notable performances like his recent two-homer game against the Tampa Bay Rays, contributing significantly to his team's success. His abilities have drawn attention, marking him as a potential franchise shortstop for the future as he joins an exclusive group of young players making impactful starts.
Effortless, manager Alex Cora said postgame of Mayer, per MassLive's Chris Cotillo. He's not trying. Obviously, trying to hit the ball hard. But he's able to go the other way... It's a complete at-bat.
Mayer's two round-trippers at Fenway Park gave Boston the offense it needed to secure both a 4-3 win over Tampa and a second straight series victory over an AL East opponent.
