Jhostynxon Garcia News: Handling Triple-A pitching
Garcia slugged his 19th home run of the season for Triple-A Worcester on Friday.
Garcia, who's belted 16 of his 19 homers at Triple-A, has handled the transition to the highest minor-league level without issue. He compiled a .748 OPS at Double-A Portland before his promotion, but he has a .951 OPS at Worcester. Garcia originally gained notoriety for his nickname "The Password", but he's emerged as a legitimate power prospect. He's hit seven home runs and drove in 23 runs with a 1.167 OPS over the last 15 games for the WooSox. Garcia leads the organization's affiliates in homers (19), RBI (66) and wRC+ (136).
