At 25 years old, Jackie Bradley Jr. is the youngest major leaguer in the last 100 years to record at least 5 extra-base hits in a game.

Glad he's starting to hit!

His potential could be unlimited.

I didn't like him as (LSU) Tiger Fan, but I'm rooting for him as a Red Sox Fan.

He's been so unpredictable for the last couple years, maybe this will gain him some ground.

On opening day 2013(?) ESPN hyped him to be the greatest rookie there ever was. Serious the hype train they had for the guy was insane and then he largely disappeared for 2 years.

Dude is a career .197/.274/.289 hitter in 553 AB... maybe it finally "clicks" but he may just not be as good as the hype

I guess since the All-Star break .250/.358/.432 if he provides that with his defense is can be a valuable player. I would have thought he would offer something in the speed department.

ESPN is trying their best to find a young black MLB superstar, McCutchen is like a grandpaw now, and Harper & Trout are way to white.
They just need that really young minority to pimp....
Wonder who it's going to be?

He's a gold glover on defense his hitting has just been atrocious. But let's see if this is just a streak or he's really starting to figure it out

Mookie is probably better than Bradley will ever be.

He was once a solid prospect, but it would be a very unlikely outcome if he became great. He plays plus defense, but that's about it. He had one amazing game. If he can become a two win player, then that would be a relative success for Bradley and the Sox.

Last 4 games he has been solid, problem is that he has never had a 4 game streak like this before.
