At Rafael Devers' introductory press conference at Oracle Park, Barry Bonds' presence drew notable attention. The Giants recently acquired Devers from the Red Sox, aiming for a significant improvement in their lineup. Devers, confident in his ability to adapt to the ballpark, emphasized that good contact leads to success regardless of dimensions. Prior to his debut, Devers had limited experience at Oracle Park but boasts a strong track record with the Red Sox. His impressive performance this season reinforces his reputation as a top hitter in baseball, making him an exciting addition for the Giants.
Before Tuesday night's 2-for-5 debut as the Giants' No. 3 hitter against Cleveland, Devers played in only one previous series at Oracle Park in his 8 seasons with the Red Sox. He tallied one hit (a double) in 12 at-bats during a July 2023 three-game visit.
Devers displayed that with Boston, both at Fenway Park (95 home runs, 344 RBI, .292 batting average) and away from it (120 home runs, 352 RBI, .267 batting average). It's the same baseball.
