Red Sox top prospect Jhostynxon Garcia — 'The Password' — heating up at Triple-A image

The Password is proving that when his name is called, he'll be ready for the big leagues.

That's the nickname of Jhostynxon Garcia, one of the top prospects in the Boston Red Sox organization. And he's heating up at Triple-A Worcester right now.

There clearly isn't a spot open at the MLB level right now, given that Garcia is an outfielder and Boston already has too many of those.

But if opportunities arise, Jhostynxon, aka "The Password," will be ready.

Heading into Friday, he's 6 for his last 15 for Worcester. That raises his Triple-A average to .292.

He has played 40 games since being called up from Double-A Salem, and he already has nine home runs.

Garcia also has six doubles and two triples. His OPS is .905 at Triple-A.

When you combine his nickname with his long hair flowing out of his batting helmet and his ever-improving game, The Password has a chance to be a fan favorite at Fenway Park for years to come.

It'll be hard to forget his name, or at least his nickname, and Red Sox fans certainly shouldn't. He'll be in the show soon enough.
