Jarren Duran Stats

Boston Red Sox prospect Jarren Duran is out to prove that the loss of veteran outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., who left via free agency in the offseason, is no big deal. The rookie outfielder went 4-for-5 with a double, stolen base, and three runs batted in on Friday. He's now 11-for-27 (.407) with six extra-base hits, including two home runs, this spring. The only real blemish for Duran is his BB-K rate which is 2-9. He has a history of producing strong line-drive rates in the minors but has always been an extreme ground-ball hitter. Duran made adjustments in 2020 and is hitting for more power and getting the ball into the air more consistently. Although he was recently assigned to the minor leagues, Duran could still make an impact at the MLB level in 2021.

The Boston Red Sox have made several roster moves on Wednesday. The team is sending its top prospect, first baseman Triston Casas, to the minor leagues. Outfielder Jarren Duran, the team's No. 4 prospect, has been reassigned as well. Duran had a strong spring with the club, slashing .318/.375/.773 with two home runs and two doubles over 22 at-bats. He revamped his swing over the past year and will likely see his MLB debut in 2021. Casas, meanwhile, went hitless over six spring at-bats. He just turned 21 years old and there's a chance he won't see the majors until 2022. Also reassigned to the minors by the team on Wednesday were Kole Cottam, Daniel Gossett, Stephen Gonsalves, Josh Ockimey and Yairo Munoz.

On the same day that the Boston Red Sox learned Jackie Bradley Jr. would be playing elsewhere in 2021, outfield prospect Jarren Duran had a strong spring performance. He doubled and hit a home run against promising young hurler Dean Kremer. The show of power was a good sign for Duran, who is better known for his above-average hit tool and blazing speed. He's now 5-for-10 this spring with four of those hits going for extra bases. The increased pop could elevate Duran's fantasy value if it's sustainable throughout the 2021 season although he's likely to open the year at the team's alternate training site.
