Summary
Forget the hype—early projections said the Red Sox wouldn’t have any 20-homer hitters in 2026, even ZiPS predicted just 19 for stars like Duran and Abreu. But here’s the twist: they’re currently among the league’s worst in homers, ranking near the bottom since 2017. Yet, power hasn’t always been their secret sauce—three of their four World Series wins came from teams crushing homers. Still, this squad doesn’t need a slugger to win. Their real strength? Pitching and defense. Since late June, they’ve shown they can rally and make this season unforgettable—even without moonshots every night.
