Nick Yorke's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Red Sox second baseman prospect Nick Yorke was promoted to Triple-A Worcester last week and on Sunday he hit his second home run at that level. Since his promotion, the 22-year-old is 7-for-19 (.368) with a double, two home runs, six RBI, five runs scored, a stolen base, and a 4:3 BB:K. He is certainly giving the Red Sox something to think about, as Emmanuel Valdez and Jamie Westbrook aren't hitting, and while Vaughn Grissom will eventually come back from his hamstring injury, he wasn't hitting before that either. Perhaps Yorke will give the offense a boost, as the former first-round draft pick offers both power and speed, hitting 13 home runs last season at Double-A and stealing 18 bases over 110 games.

The Boston Red Sox promoted second base prospect Nick Yorke to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday and he wasted no time showing off some of his tools, going 1-for-4 at the plate with a walk and a stolen base. The 22-year-old was hitting .251 at Double-A with four home runs, eight stolen bases, and an 18:36 BB:K over 175 AB. The former first-round draft pick had been on a bit of a roll before the promotion, producing five multi-hit games in his last 10 games. Vaughn Grissom was supposed to be the Sox everyday second baseman, but has hit the IL for a second time already this season with a hamstring injury, leaving Emmanuel Valdez and Jamie Westbrook to man the keystone. Valdez is hitting .188 for the season and the 28-year-old Westbrook has six MLB plate appearances to his name, all coming within the last week. Per MLB.com's Top Prospects List, Yorke has an ETA of 2024 to reach the majors, and it looks like there isn't much stopping him from making that a reality.

Boston Red Sox second baseman prospect Nick Yorke went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, and a stolen base on Sunday for Double-A Portland, extending his current hit streak to seven games. During the streak, the 22-year-old has gone 10-for-28 (.357) with three doubles, two home runs, seven RBI, seven runs scored, and three stolen bases, raising his season average to a solid .284. He's coming off a season in which he hit .268 with 13 home runs and 18 stolen bases in 110 games at Double-A. The former first-round draft pick could see Fenway by the end of 2024, but offseason acquisition Vaughn Grissom is going to get a shot at being the everyday second baseman starting this week when he comes off the IL. Nevertheless, with the tools that Yorke has, he should be on dynasty managers' radar.
