Outfielder chose to stick with Padres so he could better stick with Padres; reliever could pitch in game by weekend; Fernando Tatis Jr. has full day of work
Jose Azocar says he has watched “every pitch” of Venezuela’s two victories in the World Baseball Classic.Azocar could have been a part of that team. But he wanted to increase his chances of being a part of the Padres. So he turned down the invitation to be on his home country’s WBC squad in order to be at spring training.“I need to be here to fight for my spot,” he said. “I was so excited when I got that call, but I was like, ‘No. I can’t go.’ I needed to realize I need to fight here.
The 26-year-old Azocar provides solid defense at three outfield spots and plus speed on the base paths, has the experience of being on the roster last season and has apparently added something else to his repertoire: power. Azocar worked this winter to get more upright and also widen his stance, which he says provides more balance and allows him to get off more powerful swings.
