Wilyer Abreu, a rookie for the Boston Red Sox, has shown significant development in his offensive capabilities. Once considered undersized and lacking big league bat speed as a teenager, Abreu has matured into an impressive player. On May 28, 2024, Abreu hit his 6th home run of the year off a changeup from Grayson Rodriguez, giving the Red Sox an early 1-0 lead against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. The home run was flicked out to RF.
