FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The golden rule of baseball is not to make too much of anyone’s Spring Training statistics, good or bad.

That said, Connor Wong's red-hot spring, which continued in Monday afternoon’s 5-2 loss to the Twins with his second two-run homer in as many days, could be a sign that the offensive adjustments he made in the offseason will make him into a better all-around player.

Already, Wong is considered one of the best defensive catchers in the game. But adding some offense could make a difference for the Red Sox.

“He’s made adjustments,” manager Alex Cora said. “It started towards the end of the [2023] season. And in the offseason, [hitting coach] Pete [Fatse] came down here to Fort Myers. They started cleaning up a few things with the leg kick and all that.

"I think he’s in a good spot. He’s hitting the ball hard. There’s more conviction behind the swing. If that happens, then we go from a decent offensive team to a really good one.”

Through 30 spring at-bats, Wong is slashing .433/.469/.833 with six doubles, two homers and eight RBIs.

“Yeah, definitely shorter to the baseball right now with the swing, and I think the dots are more simple,” Wong said. “Trying to eliminate some of the swing-and-miss and swing at better pitches overall.”

In his first full season in the Majors last season, Wong had a line of .235/.288/.385 with nine homers, 36 RBIs and 134 strikeouts in 403 plate appearances.

Wong went into some detail on the simplification he’s done in trying to become a better hitter.

“It was eliminating some of the movement,” Wong said. “The toe tap is gone. It was a lot to maintain throughout the year, especially my first year trying to manage the staff. There's just a whole lot going on for me so maintaining that was very difficult, the timing of it.

"I just took out a lot of movement and making sure I'm ready to go early.”

However, Wong’s top priority remains what he does on the defensive side. And that will be the case for any catcher who is coached by Jason Varitek, Boston’s tireless catching instructor and former captain.

“To be honest, I want my pitchers to like throwing into me,” Wong said. “I want to take care of those guys. Obviously, I'm making the adjustments to be better offensively. But I think if there's guys that really want to throw to me, that's the most important, but the offense sure does help.”

At the team’s Winter Weekend event in January, Wong also mentioned that he needed to brush up on some things defensively, particularly in regard to blocking pitches.

How does he think he has he done so far?

“I think some of the moves I've been making so far have been good,” Wong said. “I think they've gotten better throughout camp and I’m just going to continue to work on those, and try and refine those as best I can.”
