Scouting Report

Assets
  • His diminutive frame is misleading, as Ortiz can generate some serious velocity on the mound. He's also a bulldog on the mound, who'll throw any pitch in any situation, with a "come and get me" attitude.
Flaws
  • He continually has trouble with left-handed hitters and the longball is often what beats him. Though he can eat up innings, he throws too many pitches on his way into the late frames.
Career Potential
  • Mediocre back-end starter.
