"I mean, I know I have power, I know I can hit, but growing and becoming a better hitter is what I'm trying to do, so that's a good sign... I'm confident in what I'm capable of doing, not in an arrogant way. If I wasn't confident, I wouldn't be here. I think confidence in baseball is up there with the most important things. Coming into the season, I think it's better to set standards or expectations a little bit too high rather than set them too low, because then you're sitting there, like, complacent. My standards and expectations are pretty high." - Michael Chavis (Post-Game Press Conference, 07/15/2019, NBC Sports Boston)

Michael Scott Chavis is an active Major League Baseball player for the Boston Red Sox (2019-today). On April 23, 2019, Michael made his big league debut, pinch hitting for Sandy Leon, and connecting for a double in his first at-bat.
Did you know that Michael Chavis was the fourth Sprayberry High School (Marietta, GA) graduate to play in the majors? Those who came before him were Jim Nash (1966-1972), Kris Benson (1999-2010), and Marylon Byrd (2002-2016).
On July 15, 2019, Michael Chavis hit his first career grand slam. Moments after the moon shot (421 feet / into the Fenway Park Monster Seats), he took notes in his hitting journal, a habit he has had since high school.
