The bat of Jackie Bradley Jr has been red hot in the month of May. 29 games in a row for the Red Sox outfielder. Bradley's hitting streak started in Houston back on April 24th. The Red Sox won in 12 innings, and that all came to an end May 26th against the Rockies.
What a ride this has been for Bradley. Back on April 24th, Bradley's BA sat at .233. During his streak, he was able to raise his BA up to .341.
I love watching long hitting streaks. I don't think we will see a time where someone breaks the 56 game hitting streak of Joe Dimaggio, but there is always so much excitement. I picked up Bradley on my fantasy team and he's been raking for me.
So, who's next? The player who now has the longest hitting streak is also on the Red Sox. Xander Bogaerts now has a hitting streak of 19 games. After him? Eric Hosmer of the Royals at 18.
