The Editors of
FenwayNation have named Red Sox relief pitcher
Heath Hembree as their 2016 '
Under The Radar' Player Of The Year. The award is given to that player who made a significant contribution to the success of the team—but did not necessarily receive a lot of recognition by fans and the media. On the season, Hembree appeared in 38 games, hurling 51 innings. He was 4-1 and compiled a solid 2.65 ERA. He held opponents to a .249 batting average. In close and late situations (9.1 innings), Hembree walked
none and struck out
eight. Congratulations Heath!
