He took home All-Star Game MVP honors and spearheaded the tempo of Boston\u2019s offense all season long. He improved as a defender in the outfield and showed his flashes from 2023 are indeed here to stay.<\/p>\n<p>Red Sox third base coach and outfield coordinator Kyle Hudson played a significant role in squeezing every ounce of production out of Duran. The challenge continues into 2025 to sustain those game-changing abilities into dependability for Boston.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis guy is one of the best players in the big leagues in all facets of the game,\u201d Hudson told NESN.com during \u201cFenway Fest\u201d Saturday. \u201cHe\u2019s very hard on himself, which makes him kind of who he is. He can also be too hard on himself sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hudson is a consistent motivator in Duran\u2019s ear, though he admits it\u2019s always easier to remind the Red Sox outfielder of that when he thrives on the field as he did in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think part of our job as coaches, and me specifically who works with him every day on the defensive side and the baserunning side,\u201d Hudson said. \u201cMy job is to instill confidence and let him know, \u2018Dude, you\u2019re <em>the<\/em> MVP candidate.\u2019 \u201cWhat he showed in that ability, in my opinion, it\u2019s not just a flash in the pan in one year. We\u2019ve talked about it a lot, \u2018You\u2019ve got to go out and do it again and again and again.\u2019<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Duran finished eighth in American League MVP voting, though Hudson believes the Red Sox star is only scratching the surface of the recognition his personality and production deserve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s getting the recognition he deserves from the season that he had,\u201d Hudson added. \u201cHe did it for one year. He does it for another year, he\u2019s going to start to gain some traction and gain some speed. People are going to start recognizing it and who he is. If you watch that kid and watch him play, that\u2019s the guy. I want that guy. I want him on my team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sox have a unique talent and therefore have a greater responsibility to secure his future in Boston.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle Hudson told NESN.com why Jarren Duran is set up for sustainable success after an elite season for the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":26061,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
