José Azócar

José Enrique Azócar (born May 11, 1996) is a Venezuelan professional baseball outfielder in the New York Mets organization.

Azócar made another jump in play up to the High–A Lakeland Flying Tigers for 2017, however despite seeing his first professional home runs (he would hit three), his average would drop from .281 in 2016 to .220 in 2017.

[1] Azócar's average would ultimately take a downtick, but it would be sitting at .293 when, on June 24, he was named to the Eastern League All-Star Game for the Western Division.

[3] Azócar would ultimately earn the dubious distinction of leading the minor leagues in 2019 by grounding into 22 double plays.

In 128 games split between the two affiliates, Azócar slashed .281/.341/.438 with nine home runs, 70 RBI, and 32 stolen bases.

[8] On April 7, 2022, Azócar had his contract selected to the major league roster and made his MLB debut that night as a pinch runner and left fielder.
