J.D. Martinez Joins Historic Company With Impressive Month Of April

Is there anyone hotter than Martinez?

J.D. Martinez has been on a mission so far in 2021 for the Boston Red Sox.

Martinez struggled throughout the coronavirus-shortened 2020 Major League Baseball season, but he seems to have returned to form in a major way.

The Red Sox slugger finished the month of April hitting an impressive .351 with a league-leading nine home runs and 25 RBIs.

Martinez etched his name in the Red Sox’s record books with his massive month becoming just the second player in team history to lead the majors in both home runs and RBIs at the end of April — with the other being Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx in 1940.

For more on his sensational month, check out the video above from “Red Sox First Pitch,” presented by Rodenhiser Home Services.
