Mickey Gasper has pretty much always hit in the minor leagues, but until recently, it had been a big struggle for him in the major leagues.
The Boston Red Sox are giving him a chance, though, and he might actually be well equipped to handle it. Gasper went 3-for-4 on Sunday with two doubles and an RBI. He got another start Tuesday and was 1-for-4 and scored a run.
Before this, he had been 15-for-113 at the MLB level. This season, though, a quick 4-for-8. The reality is that the Red Sox need a spark, and Gasper's minor league numbers always suggested he'd be a solid big leaguer.
He's also a favorite of interim manager Chad Tracy: A couple weeks ago during a presser in before a game in Worcester, Chad Tracy told us that Mickey Gasper the best hitter from the left side he's ever managed. Keep in mind this guy managed Triston Casas, Jarren Duran, Wilyer Abreu, Roman Anthony, and Marcelo Mayer since 2022. https://t.
