Prospect of the Day:  RHP Jorge Ortega, Brevard

Amidst the quality performances of bigger-named pitchers, such as Jorge Lopez and Devin Williams, it seems that right-hander Jorge Ortega has slipped under the radar with a stellar 2.48 ERA for High-A Brevard County. He tossed a complete-game shutout in the Manatees’ seven-inning victory over the Tortugas. The right-hander doesn’t have an overpowering repertoire — as his fastball hovers around 90 mph with a changeup and curveball — but relentlessly pounds the strike zone. His 2.1 percent walk rate actually improves upon his walk rate in 2014, when he only walked eight batters (2.3 percent) all year.

Though I have yet to see Ortega pitch in a live-game setting, his statistical profile has multiple factors working against him. The walk rate is lovely, but his already striking out just 4.51 batters per nine innings. Project that into the higher levels of the minors, not to mention the majors, and that’s unworkable. He’ll be heavily reliant upon BABIP for his success. Even last year, he posted a 4.23 ERA in rookie ball as a 21-year-old because he surrendered 13 homers in just 83.0 innings. Again, not a recipe for sustainable good fortune. The difficult offensive environment in the Florida State League has benefited Ortega. It is also encouraging that the organization felt confident enough in the right-hander to skip the Midwest League; however, he’s not young for the FSL and needs to show this contact-heavy approach can work in the higher levels. Consider me very skeptical.
