New Red Sox addition Caleb Durbin may not be the most imposing figure on the baseball diamond.
But, the 5-foot-7 infield is a strong defender and tenacious presence at the plate — similar in some respects to former Red Sox great Dustin Pedroia.
As such, it shouldn’t come as much of a shock that Durbin admitted on Wednesday to taking inspiration from the former All-Star second baseman.
“He was definitely one of my favorite players growing up. A guy I definitely try to model my game around, ”Durbin said Wednesday at JetBlue Park.
