Yoaylin Céspedes is flipping the script this season after a ref 2025.

The 20-year-old Boston prospect lit up, High A Greenville's game with four hits, three

runs batted in, and two homers in a ten-ending thriller.

His second blast tied it in the bottom of the tenth, setting up an 8-7 walkoff win over

Hub City.

That clutch homer came on the first pitch from their side armor, sailing over the right

center fence.

It marked Céspedes' first four-hit night in almost three years, and his second multi-homer

game in under two weeks.

He sandwiched singles around his first long ball earlier, showing why he's Boston's

number 17 prospect.

Coming off a tough stay-side debut last year at single A, where he hit just 227 with

10 homers in 110 games, Céspedes needed.

This bounce back.

The Dominican outfielder and second baseman struggled early, but has been a force since

opening day in the South Atlantic League.

Over his last seven games, he's batting 414 with 12 hits, seven extra bass knocks, four

homers, and 11 RBI's.

That hot streak bumped his average to 314, and his OPS to 1.034 for the first time since

April.

Now leading the league's top 10 in hits at 27, extra bass hits at 16, six homers, and

20 RBI's, Céspedes is just four bomb shy of.

Last year's total.

With 2026 Karen real weight, he's proving he's ready for the next level.
