I’ve been a big Josh Ockimey fan for a number of years now, and I won’t be stopping anytime soon. Ockimey has one of those beautiful lefty swings and has used it to mash right-handed pitching all throughout his career in the minors. And because of all that, I’m hoping to see him utilized in a Mitch Moreland-type role when 2021 rolls around.
During the Red Sox’s 2018 championship run, the duo of Steve Pearce and Mitch Moreland proved to be huge, providing big-time production during the postseason. I don’t think anyone forgets Steve Pearce’s MVP performance in the World Series or Mitch Moreland’s pinch-hit, three-run home run in Game Four.
