Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran has been named as a finalist for the prestigious Hank Aaron Award, which is given to the best offensive performer in each league. Duran, at just 28 years old, is among the top 10 finalists in the American League alongside stars like Aaron Judge, Yordan Alvarez, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Duran’s impressive stats this season have solidified his position as a top contender for the award. Leading the majors in doubles, plate appearances, and at-bats, he also tied for the lead in triples. In 160 games, Duran batted .285 with a .342 on-base percentage, .492 slugging percentage, and an .834 OPS. He also recorded 21 home runs, 34 stolen bases, 111 runs, and 75 RBIs.
On the National League side, the finalists include standouts such as Shohei Ohtani, Bryce Harper, and Freddie Freeman. The award recognizes the top offensive talents in baseball and is a prestigious honor for any player.
Duran’s exceptional performance this season has not gone unnoticed, as he is also expected to finish in the top 10 of the AL MVP voting. With his all-around offensive skills and contributions to the Red Sox, he is well-deserving of his spot as a finalist for the Hank Aaron Award.
