EDGE Analysis
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but most would consider Ortiz the headliner in this package for Baltimore. He is a big, 6-foot-3, 230-pound righty whose minor-league production has never quite matched his scouting report. At his best, Ortiz shows a heavy fastball that leads to plenty of groundballs, a plus breaking ball and good command in the zone, while mixing in an average changeup. If he were to max out, he could make it as a mid-rotation starter, but it is probably more likely at this point that he ends up as more of a back-end starter. Look for him to be assigned to Double-A Bowie.
