View Draft Report
Ortega has a wiry, 6-foot-2, 170-pound build and he stands out in Puerto Rico for his glove. He's an instinctual fielder with excellent range, pro actions and above-average arm strength. He's a high-energy player and an average runner. There are questions about Ortega's bat, as he has a little wrap in his swing and gets jammed in games. However, he shows good balance at the plate, has some bat speed and could develop into an average hitter as he fills out and receives better instruction. Ortega is committed to Alabama State, but is believed to be signable.
