Over his brief career, he appeared in 38 games, finishing with 11 hits and a batting average of .134. While he did not hit any home runs, he showcased his speed by stealing four bases and contributing two runs batted in (RBIs). Bocock's journey in the majors was underscored by his time spent with the Giants, a team that emphasized strong pitching and defense during the late 2000s.
