Red Sox prospect Johanfran Garcia hit a walkoff RBI single off the left field wall to lift High-A Greenville to a 2-1 win over Rome in 10 innings on Sunday.

Garcia is the younger brother of Jhostynxon “The Password” Garcia, the No. 2 position prospect in Boston’s system.

The 20-year-old catcher is back this season after undergoing season-ending surgery last May to repair torn ligaments in his knee. He began the season at extended spring training and on a rehab assignment in the FCL before Boston assigned him to Greenville on June 10.

He’s batting .242 with a .336 on-base percentage, .392 slugging percentage, .728 OPS, five home runs, three doubles, 18 RBIs, 18 runs, 15 walks and 45 strikeouts in 33 games (140 plate appearances) for the Drive.

Baseball America ranked Garcia Boston’s No. 14 prospect entering 2024. Brother Jhostynxon, who is with Triple-A Worcester, was unranked entering last year, then put together a breakout season.
