Xander Bogaerts Parents: Meet Jan Bogaerts and Sandra Brown

Xander Bogaerts is an Aruban professional baseball shortstop for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB).

In 2016, Bogaerts again started the season as the Red Sox’s beginning shortstop, essentially batting third.

Between May 6 and June 2, Bogaerts hit securely in 26 back-to-back games. His hitting streak reached a conclusion in a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on June 3.

He was decided to play in the 2016 MLB All-Star Game, the first of his profession; he began at shortstop and was 1-for-2 at the plate.

Bogaerts completed the season batting .294 with 21 grand slams and 89 RBIs and was indeed given the American League’s shortstop Silver Slugger Award.

Bogaerts became qualified for pay assertion in 2017. He and the Red Sox stayed away from an intervention hearing by consenting to a $4.5 million compensation for the 2017 season.

In 2017, Bogaerts typically hit the 6th spot in the batting request. On July 6, he was hit on the right wrist by a pitch from Jacob Faria of the Tampa Bay Rays.

It was subsequently analyzed as a hyper-extended joint. Notwithstanding this, Bogaerts declined being put on the impaired rundown and played while harmed for the remainder of the period.
