Enddy Azocar's stay in High-A could be a brief one if his first 11 games are a preview of what's to come.
Boston's No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline had another big game on Wednesday for Greenville, collecting three hits -- a homer and two singles -- in the Drive's 7-4 win over Winston-Salem at Fluor Field. That gives the 19-year-old outfielder a .333/.373/.604 slash line since his promotion, with seven extra-base hits.
Azocar's promotion to High-A came after he hit .295 with six homers and an .874 OPS in 39 games this season at Single-A Salem. Overall this season, he has 19 multi-hit games, and Wednesday's performance was hit seventh game with three or more hits.
He now leads all Red Sox Minor Leaguers in hits (65), total bases (117) and runs (41), while ranking second in RBIs (35).
