2023 Fantasy Outlook
Azocar finally got his first taste of the big leagues last season and received a substantial amount of playing time, logging 216 plate appearances over 98 games. As those numbers suggest, much of his work came as a pinch hitter/runner and as a defensive replacement. While he had a few memorable moments at the plate, Azocar didn't make much of an impression with his bat, posting an 81 wRC+ and .075 ISO. The latter is no surprise -- Azocar's approach doesn't portend much power -- but it's concerning that he was able to translate his 96th percentile sprint speed to only five stolen bases in 11 attempts. There's certainly room to grow in that area, though Azocar also needs to work on his ability to take a walk to maximize his base-stealing potential. Defense and speed will be his tickets to sticking in the majors, and his most likely career path is as a reserve outfielder. Read Past Outlooks

Clubs first big-league homer
Azocar went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 8-3 win over the Athletics.
ANALYSIS
Azocar's ninth-inning blast produced the final score. The 27-year-old outfielder needed 142 games to hit his first career homer, though he's had few chances this year with just 73 plate appearances over 44 contests. He's done alright when given the chance to hit, slashing .269/.300/.373 with eight RBI, 12 runs scored, four doubles and seven stolen bases, though he's likely to end the year in a part-time role at best.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Azocar has yet to make his major-league debut, and his .289/.308/.447 slash line in 49 games for Triple-A El Paso last season was merely good for an 81 wRC+. He'll fight for a depth role with the Padres this spring.
