Triston Casas, 1B Boston Red Sox

A lot of people will say this is recency bias, due to Triston Casas’ stellar performance on Wednesday as he drove in all of the runs for the Triple-A WooSox in their 2-1 victory over the Rochester Red Wings. Most noteworthy, Casas hit a walk-off single off the right-field wall to send home teammate Connor Wong for the game-winning run.

Now, Casas doesn’t have the most exhilarating stat-line in the world. In fact, in 59 games in Triple-A, Casas is batting .254 with just nine home runs and 32 RBI. But, since returning on July 22 from an ankle injury that sidelined him for over two months, Casas has been seeing a beach ball at the plate and has turned things completely around.

If the Red Sox call him up after the 22, he’ll retain his rookie eligibility next season. Whether it’s this week, next week, or next year, Casas is on the way.
