Adam Duvall says wrist feels good, 'knock on wood, I haven’t had any setbacks'

New Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall reported to camp on Friday. The new slugger comes to Boston and should offer a power boost to the lineup this season.

“I do like to pull the ball so hopefully having that wall (Green Monster) there is effective for me,” Duvall said Friday. “But I’m just really looking to put the barrel on the ball and hit it in the gap somewhere.”

Boston had been looking for a power bat this offseason that could provide depth in the outfield. Duvall checks off both those boxes.

The 34-year-old is only a year removed from his breakout 2021 season where he crushed 38 homers and drove in 113 RBIs.

Duvall was asked during his media scrum at Jet Blue Park if he could return to a 30 home run hitter.

“I’m a home run, RBI-type of guy. I pride myself on driving runners in,” Duvall said. “That’s what I’ve been able to do over my career. So I’m going to continue to look to do that. At the end of the day, it’s about putting together a good at-bat, passing the torch and just being a tough out for the other team. So I think if you can do that up and down the lineup, you’re going to have success, you’re going to score runs and you’re going to put pressure on the other team. That’s what I’m looking to do.”

Duvall missed time last season with wrist surgery. The slugger told reporters his wrist feels good. “Knock on wood, I haven’t had any setbacks,” he said to MassLive.com’s Christopher Smith.
