Alex Ochoa (born March 29, 1972 in Miami Lakes, Florida) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder. He is currently with the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Japan's Central League. Ochoa played in part of eight seasons for the New York Mets, Minnesota Twins, Milwaukee Brewers, Cincinnati Reds, Colorado Rockies and Anaheim Angels. He was originally drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the third round of the 1991 amateur draft, but he never played in the majors for them, as Baltimore traded him to the Mets as part of a trade for Bobby Bonilla in 1995. Ochoa would make his big league debut later that year for New York. Ochoa would eventually be traded seven times in his career, winning a World Series ring with the Angels in 2002. Ochoa played for the Chunichi Dragons from 2003 to 2006. He signed a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox before the 2007 season and was invited to the spring training. He started the season with Triple-A Pawtucket, but was released after a poor performance. On June 18 he signed a deal to play with Hiroshima for the rest of this season. Ochoa was in right field when Darin Erstad made the final out in the 2002 World Series.
