Yoan Moncada Impressing Xander Bogaerts, Red Sox With Strong Arm At Third Base
Share this: Saturday was a special night for Yoan Moncada at the plate, but he brings more to the table than just his bat.

Moncada also held his own on defense in his first big league start, though, and his throwing arm left an impression on fellow infielder Xander Bogaerts during Boston’s blowout win. Check out what Bogaerts had to say about Moncada, and right-hander Rick Porcello’s excellent start, in the “Red Sox Final” video above. More Stories Source link
Xander Bogaerts Really Wanted Dustin Pedroia To Break That MLB Record
