Red Sox 1B prospect Josh Ockimey went 3-for-4 with a homer on Thursday for Double-A Portland.
It’s the first homer of the season for Ockimey, who missed the first week-plus of the season with a hamstring injury. The 22-year-old first baseman has an excellent approach at the plate, and he also shows above-average power from the left side. He also strikes out too much, and he’s not a strong defender, meaning he could move to DH. He’s going to need to stay at first to capitalize on his value, but if he can, he could be a starter that could help Boston in 2019.
