Ortiz has drawn comparisons to Franklin Stubbs for his lefthanded swing. He has a pull approach and shows little feel for hitting, rarely attempting to hit the ball up the middle or to the opposite field. He has a good frame, which lends some projection, and the potential to hit for average to slightly above-average power. He's a well-below-average runner.

Ortiz' raw power ranked with anyone's in the Pioneer League and he hit 11 homers, up from two in his pro debut in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League a year ago. Most of his pop comes to the pull side at this point, but with his size and strength, he should develop home run potential to all fields. His swing is solid, but he'll have to do a better job of working counts as he moves up the ladder. Ortiz is a well below-average runner but managers praised his defensive abilities at first base. His soft hands are an asset.
