The Red Sox have 10 players with an OPS below .700 right now. It’s still very early in the season, but the results have not been great. Wilyer, Abreu, Connor Wong and Carlos Narváez have hit well, but the rest of the team has not found its rhythm yet.
Trevor Story leads the team with 29 plate appearances, but is just 4-for-29 with 13 strikeouts and no walks. Story detailed what he needs to do better to start seeing some results at the plate.
“Personally, I’ve got to be a little more disciplined, finding and hunting the one I want,” Story told MassLive’s Christopher Smith. “And not missing it when I get it.”
Story slashed .263/.308/.433 with 25 home runs last season. It was his best season in years, and the first one since 2021 where he was healthy. He came into the season with high expectations and still has time to turn things around. The Red Sox will need him, and others, to start swinging the bat well if they want to make a World Series push this year.

“I try to look at things in a positive sense,” Story said, per Smith. “Maybe this is good this is happening now and a little gut check and we figure it out — we make the adjustments. But we know we have a great team. We know we can be good. So it’s just about us, the players, to make the adjustments that we need to make. And we have time on our side, but there’s urgency, for sure.”
