Ockimey went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI for Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday.
Ockimey, 23, has dropped several spots on prospect lists since the Red Sox drafted him in 2014 -- so much so that no team selected him last winter when Boston exposed him to the Rule 5 draft. Ockimey is a pull-heavy hitter that sees a lot of shifts and needs to adjust. He struggled in his first exposure to Triple-A last season and continued to scuffle in the Arizona Fall League. Ockimey has turned it around early in 2019 and is hitting .250 with 11 extra-base hits, including five home runs, along with a .617 slugging percentage in 19 games. The 23-year-old will need to sustain his production over the course of the season for the Red Sox to consider adding him to the 40-man roster.
