Who is that playing 1B? Mundy? If so, nice stretch and grab for him as I've heard he's not much on the defensive-scale

Ortiz is a stud. Really quick hands, fast on the base path and can hit for power.  And he doesn't make errors.

Yes, that was Mundy from what I can tell.

Very nice game last night.

Binghamton pitching was walking the world early but Baysox didn't really cash until Ortiz's 2-run double.   The in-stadium scoreboard gave exit velocity, it was a 104, same as Mundy got on his homerun.   Scalded one-hopper past 3B down the line.    He had one other hit.

Defensively, he got 2B last night with Westburg 3B and Henderson SS.   He got Young an out with a long range to catch a foul pop partway down the RF line.   It was one of those up there forever but was almost perfect spot to land between 1B Mundy, 2B Ortiz and RF Hall.   Mundy's chase looked hopeless and I thought it was about to drop when Ortiz, who maybe had the farthest to go of any of them, made the play.

OPS up to .616 with a HR and double yesterday.

Keith Law had really high hopes for him and had him very highly rated.   

 

He's been another guy who has disappointed so far this year.   Hopefully he can turn it around.

1.011 OPS in May. Signs of life?

Sink or swim time for Ortiz. He now gets everyday SS playing time in Bowie.

It's not like he wasn't playing every day. Also, I bet they continue to give Prieto reps at SS so I doubt Ortiz is at SS 100%.

When I've seen Ortiz bat, it seems like he's always in pull mode.

2 hits so far tonight!

Looked real good tonight with three hits, including two doubles, and three RBI. He was solid defensively at short. Loved watching him play.

[Frobby]

Since Westburg and Henderson got promoted, Ortiz has hit .311/.340/.467.  He’s played 10 of 11 games at SS.  Could be a coincidence, or it could just be easier for him to concentrate a bit more on his offense when he’s not jumping back and forth from one position to the other.  Defensively, he’s only made 2 errors at SS in 28 starts there this season.

Playing SS tonight vs Harrisburg, just made a great stab of a line drive that doubled up the runner at second to eliminate any RISP.

And next at bat, hits a 2-run shot over the Right CF wall!

Ortiz likes August too. 2-2 with a 2 run homer!
