Betts hit .368 with five home runs, 15 RBIs, five stolen bases and a 1.068 OPS in 23 July games. The 23-year-old right fielder entered Wednesday hitting .306 with 22 homers, 70 RBIs, 17 stolen bases and an .890 OPS overall.
This marks the first time Betts has ever won a Player of the Month award.
Safe to say us Sox fans have a tremendous player to watch grow even further. Beleive me, this will not be the last reward he wins during his MLB career.
