Saturday's top prospect performers

Here's MLB Pipeline's roundup of the top prospect performances in the Minor Leagues on Saturday.
After getting a late start to the season, Michael Chavis is finally hitting his stride.
The Red Sox No. 1 prospect (No. 98 overall) hit a two-run home run in his first at-bat and later added a double in his second game with Triple-A Pawtucket, an 8-5 win over Buffalo. He also scored a team-high three runs, finishing 2-for-5.

The big game comes one day after Chavis hit a pair of doubles as well as a two-run home run in his Triple-A debut. The 23-year-old third baseman is a combined 5-for-9 between the two contests, and all five of his hits have been for extra bases.
Chavis hit in 14 straight games between Pawtucket and Double-A Portland, where he batted .303/.388/.508 with six homers in 33 games. He missed the first 80 games of 2018 after he tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance during the offseason.
First baseman Josh Ockimey (No. 10) also connected on a two-run homer, his fourth in 18 games with Pawtucket. The 22-year-old has hit a career-high 19 home runs in 108 games this season between Double- and Triple-A levels.
Other top prospect performances from Saturday's action:

He also picked up his 20th steal in the contest to record his second straight campaign with at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases.
