"He's sure to be a trivia question for the sickos years from now, because outfielder Josê Azocar pulled off a rare feat in his two weeks with Atlanta in late Spring: he became one of two players to play in the outfield and get only one plate appearance with the Braves, joining Scott Schebler in 2020 (at least according to Baseball-Reference)."
"The Braves signed Azocar on May 29, 2025, after he was designated for assignment by the New York Mets and elected free agency. Signed by the Detroit Tigers as an international free agent in 2012, Azocar made his MLB debut with the San Diego Padres in 2022 and spent three season with the team, playing in 214 games, before being claimed of waivers by the Mets in early September 2024."
José Azocar signed with the Atlanta Braves on May 29, 2025, after being designated for assignment by the New York Mets. He signed with Detroit in 2012, debuted with San Diego in 2022, and appeared in 214 major-league games before a Mets waiver claim in September 2024. Atlanta added him May 30 when Stuart Fairchild went on the injured list; Fairchild returned June 16 and Azocar was designated for assignment. He appeared in two Atlanta games — once as an extra-innings pinch-runner and once as a pinch-hitter — then returned to the Mets' minor leagues. His profile centers on defense and baserunning; he posted 0.6 fWAR in 216 PAs in 2022 and has been below replacement in recent small samples.
