Aruban professional baseball player Xander Bogaerts plies his trade with the Boston Red Sox of the Major League Baseball as a professional baseball shortstop.
Boston Red Sox scout, Mike Lord discovered Bogaerts at the age of 16, in 2009.
After not playing baseball for a very long time because of the chickenpox, Bogaerts played for Lord, who prescribed him to Craig Shipley, the Red Sox’s VP of global exploring.
Shipley traveled to Aruba to watch Bogaerts play. The Red Sox marked him to an agreement with a $410,000 marking reward.
Bogaerts made his professional debut in 2010 in the Dominican Summer League (DSL), where he had a .314 batting normal, .396 on-base rate, and .423 slugging rate.
He drove the DSL Red Sox in every one of those classifications, alongside hits (75), homers (3), RBIs (42), and all-out bases (101).
He was fifth in the DSL in RBIs and tenth incomplete bases, and he had a .929 handling rate.
