Devers literally got Jonathan Papelbon out of his seat
It’s been a season of multiple highlights for Rafael Devers, and “Unobstructed Views” caught a historic swing from the Boston Red Sox star.
The Red Sox alternate cast made its debut on NESN+ for the Red Sox’s matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. Devers got Boston on the scoreboard first with a gigantic moonshot that literally moved Jonathan Papelbon out of his seat to celebrate with host Jared Carrabis.
Devers’ home run charted at 467 feet, which was the second-longest homer at Fenway Park in the Statcast era. Hanley Ramirez owns the record at 469 feet set in a matchup against the Chicago Cubs on April 29, 2017.
Make sure to tune into the next Red Sox alt cast next Tuesday when Carrabis will be joined by co-host Ian Browhill when Boston plays the Miami Marlins at loanDepot park.
