Brock Holt has had a solid season for the Red Sox. The 30-year old who is in his fifth season with Boston, finished the 2018 season with seven home runs, 46 RBIs, seven stolen bases, and a .277 batting average.

Holt’s accomplishments are fruitful. Holt was an all-star back in 2015 and is a great utility player which means that he can play several positions well. Very few players in the MLB can play multiple positions as well as Holt has in his career.

Among the positions that he plays well they include second base, first base, third base, shortstop, left field, and right field. Holt does his job well, and he does whatever Boston manager Alex Cora needs him to do.

When it comes to the postseason, Holt has also performed incredibly well. He was the first player in MLB history to hit for the cycle in the postseason. Hitting for the cycle means that a player has managed to hit a single, double, triple, and home run in the same game.

Amazingly, this cycle was not Holt’s first. According to MLB.com he reached his first cycle in 2015 during a game versus the Atlanta Braves. With his second cycle, Holt became just the twenty-sixth player in MLB history to achieve this feat.

Prior to professional baseball, Holt grew up in Stephenville, Texas and attended Rice University. Off the field, Holt is well-rounded and does charitable work. He was the captain of a Jimmy Fund team this year and raised an astonishing $4.4 million for childhood cancer research. Outside of baseball, he enjoys musical instruments and fishing. He lives with his wife Laykn, and son Griffin.

Brock Holt has performed remarkably well this season and brings much needed versatility to the game of baseball. It will be exciting to see how he performs in the World Series.
