Rafael Devers Joins Ted Williams and Babe Ruth in Exclusive Power Club
By Zack Jiang

Yup, 22-year-old Rafael Devers has been on a tear of late. In his last four games, he is batting .389 with seven hits and five runs batted in. More impressively, he has homered in each of his last three games.
The three-game home run streak at his young age puts Devers in an exclusive club with some of baseball's greatest. He is now one of six players in MLB history to hit a home run in three straight games at age 22 or younger. The list he joins includes legends such as Ted Williams and Babe Ruth; pretty good company for the Red Sox third baseman.

Carl Yastrzemski, Rico Petrocelli and Jim Tabor are also part of the historic list. Devers joined them after his eighth-inning bomb on Wednesday night against the Blue Jays.
The young star is not known to be a power hitter, as his most recent three dingers make up half of his total for the season. However, he has had a great start to his third campaign, batting .315 with 27 RBI.

Devers is 22 years old. Chavis is 23.
Add them to Mookie Betts, Andrew Benintendi & Xander Bogaerts. Great young #RedSox core.
The Red Sox have recovered from their early-season slump and Devers' hot streak has been a major part of that. He has the potential to be a star in the Red Sox core in the future if he keeps developing at this rate.
