Red Sox No. 3 Prospect Continues Smoking Hot Season In Triple-A

Boston Red Sox prospect Jhostynxon “The Password” Garcia can’t stop hitting.

Garcia went yard again on Thursday night for the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox, per Beyond the Monster:

“Jhostynxon Garcia went 3-for-5 with a home run (17) in tonight’s 13-10 Worcester Red Sox win. The 22-year-old outfielder has slashed .300/.366/.575 over 276 PA at Triple-A.”

Since being promoted to Triple-A on May 20, Garcia has 50 RBIs to go along with his 17 homers.

The 22-year-old outfield prospect, ranked No. 3 in Boston’s farm system, has started some first base prep this season in the minors, indicating that the Red Sox organization is remaining open-minded about his defensive future.

Garcia’s offensive profile is much clearer: he’s a gifted power hitter.

Here’s a segment from MLB.com’s scouting report on Garcia:

“Features some of the best strength and raw power in the system. His right-handed swing is designed to launch balls in the air … He does damage against both lefties and righties and could produce 25-30 homers per season, though he may have to tone down his aggressive approach against more advanced pitching.

Garcia is deceptively athletic despite … he’s an average defender with good instincts. He’s at least a solid defender on the corners and has the plus arm strength for right field.”

The Red Sox signed Garcia out of Venezuela in 2019. His younger brother, Johanfran, was signed by the organization in 2022.
