I'm clueless, what does the password have to do with anything ? I assume it's a reference to the random letter generation he uses as a first name. It's kinda nice though as long as no one can figure him out... might be ever so slightly more apt for a tricky pitcher, but I guess I don't get to decide these things for other people. Seriously though is it pronounced Yost-nixon? Or Yost-een-hon?Sorry, forgot we have a whole website dedicated to that kind of info: iirc Yo-stin-son Edit: just checked and it’s on his SP player page Double edit: you saw and realized that already lol

The Password is on his baseball-reference page. Now up to a 10 game hitting streak with a HR in his last 2 games.
Up to .283/.371/.595 for the year, with 14 HR in 197 PA. 21bb/45k.
He has 9 HR in 93 PA at Greenville, so some of this is definitely not maintainable. On the other hand, he's been mashing since mid August 23.
Also, count me in as confused about the split talk. He has mashed righties this year and had no real splits last year. I also just noticed he climbed up the SP rankings quite a bit. If he keeps this up all year, does he have a chance of cracking the Sox top 20, or even top 10?
If he keeps this level of performance up for another 100-150 PA and earns himself a promotion to AA (or even finishes in A+), he's going to be hard to ignore. His BAbip is only .307, .309 in Greenville.
Again, 9 HR in 84 AB is playing a huge part in his overall numbers. But even if you cut his HR/AB ratio in half, he's still hitting a HR every 25 at bats.
How's his defense? Is he still likely to move to a corner OF spot? How does he look physically compared to last year? Did he physically mature into that plus raw power?

He's finally hit a cold patch so we shall see how he adjusts.
Last 7 games and 30 PA, he's slashing .143/.200/.250 with a .200 BAbip. 1bb/8k.
Unfortunately for him, his 18 HR off 76 FBs isn't sustainable. He's at a 23.7% HR/FB% for the year. (22.7% in Salem, 24.1% in Greenville).

I'm a little late but I have to post a clip of this catch made by the Password to preserve Greenville's no hitter last week. Great coordination (even if maybe not the best route?) to make this catch:
