Red Sox prospect Luis Soto missed the cycle by a single Friday for Single-A Greenville.
Soto opened last season at Greenville, but he hit just .212/.247/.259 in 23 games before being demoted to extended spring training. Assigned to short-season Single-A Lowell in June, he did quite a bit better the rest of the way, finishing at .293/.377/.431. The Red Sox will hope he’s ready for full-season ball at age 20 this year. He has as much power potential as anyone in the club’s farm system.
