MLB.com • • sports
Key Points:
- MLB’s No. 3 prospect, a 20-year-old Venezuelan shortstop, matched a career high with four hits, including two doubles, helping Triple-A Worcester to a 10-0 win over Buffalo.
- He has hit safely in 25 of his last 29 games and currently boasts a .318/.397/.557 slash line with career highs in extra-base hits (50), home runs (23), and RBIs (78) this season.
- After dominating Double-A pitching with a .994 OPS, his promotion to Worcester has been another successful step toward the major leagues, showcasing both consistent contact and growing power.
- Known for his advanced offensive approach and defensive skills, he is considered one of the best young players in baseball and a top prospect for the Boston Red Sox.
- While Boston is not rushing his debut due to their playoff race and the return of Trevor Story, the prospect’s continued minor league success suggests a major league call-up is imminent, possibly this month or next season.
