Red Sox's Jarren Duran Poised for 2026 Bounce-Back After Mixed 2025

Jarren Duran, Boston Red Sox outfielder, is projected for a telling 2026 season after a productive but slightly regressed 2025. Last year, he hit .256/.332/.442 with 16 HR, an AL-best 13 triples, and 24 stolen bases. His hard-hit rate increased, but his chase rate also rose. Defensively, he improved to +11 DRS (3rd among MLB LF) and maintained elite baserunning value (+7 run value). He may split time in LF/DH. The 29-year-old speedster aims to recapture his 2024 All-Star form, potentially becoming a 30-homer/30-steal player.
