In 2023, Wilyer Abreu played a brief stint in the major leagues with the Boston Red Sox, providing a taste of what he could become.
Abreu showed the Red Sox his bat after making his debut in a game against his old team in Houston. In 28 games, the youthful outfielder slashed.316/.388/.474 for a.862 OPS. Cora was enthralled with the outfielder’s swing choices at the moment and showed curiosity about what lay ahead for Abreu.
In the midst of spring training, the Red Sox manager is still optimistic about Abreu’s potential, particularly when it comes to a full season.
According to team footage, Cora told reporters in Fort Myers, Florida on Wednesday, “Just keep doing the things he did last year.” He is a skilled athlete. He is a capable backer. He strikes the ball forcefully. He does a good job running the bases. He is an all-around player.
According to Cora, Abreu will play right field for the Red Sox. He cited his strong arm and good athleticism as reasons for the fit in a challenging position, particularly at Fenway Park.
According to the manager, “His arm plays.” His behavior (the play). This man is quite talented. We feel at ease having him play right field.
