"Hottest bat in the league!" "Really hated hearing those boos at Fenway" - Fans react to Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story's red-hot appearances at the plate
Trevor Story is on an absolute tear right now. The Boston Red Sox second baseman is hitting .333 with eight home runs and 22 RBIs over his last 10 games. For the entire month of May, Story has driven in 32 runs. It has truly been an incredible stretch of hitting.
Last night, Trevor Story launched another home run in the Boston Red Sox’s 16-7 thumping of the Chicago White Sox. The Red Sox improved their record to 21-23 on the season. Here is Story's towering shot.

Story's bat is on fire!
Boston Red Sox Fans react to Trevor Story's red-hot stretch
One fan reacted to Story's home run yesterday by saying he is the hottest bat in the league.
My goodness another HR for Story. Hottest bat in the league twitter.com/Jared_Carrabis…

It is hard to argue with this assessment. Trevor Story is on another level right now. The only other player who comes close at the moment is Paul Goldschmidt of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Paul Goldschmidt in April: .282 with a .728 OPS. Not bad, not bad.
Paul Goldschmidt in May: .402 BA (1st in NL), .462 OBP (1st in NL), .768 SLG (2nd in MLB), 1.231 OPS (2nd in MLB), 18 XBH (1st in MLB). https://t.co/gcNS63xEaq

Another fan reacted to Trevor Story's home run by saying that he probably got tired of the boos at Fenway Park earlier in the season.
Trevor Story really hated hearing those boos at Fenway twitter.com/jared_carrabis…

Another fan said that while Story is good, he wants to re-sign Rafael Devers and Xander Bogaerts after the season.
Trev is pretty good…now resign Bogy and Scoops. twitter.com/jared_carrabis…

One fan can't get over the fact that he has hit seven homers and driven in 20 runs in his last seven games.
7 homers. Lol. 20 RBI’s. In. His. Last. 7. Games. Lol. twitter.com/jared_carrabis…
"7 homers. Lol. 20 RBI's. In. His. Last. 7. Games. Lol" - @ Ethan
Lastly, a fan said that he is not even the hottest hitter on the team. J.D. Martinez is batting .380 with five home runs and 21 RBIs on the season.

Trevor Story's red-hot stretch of hitting is awesome to watch for the game of baseball. Stretches of hitting like this only happen to a few players every year. After his shaky start with his new team in April, Story looks to be fitting in nicely in May.
