2 years agoTexas Rangers first base prospect Abimelec Ortiz signed with the club after he didn't hear his name called in the 2021 draft. A native of Puerto Rico, Ortiz reached the pros by way of Florida Southwestern State College. He posted uninspiring results through his first two seasons in the organization but has shown massive strides in 2023. The left-handed slugger has great bat speed and strength, attacking the ball and hitting to all parts of the field while demonstrating fantastic power. Furthermore, while he still strikes out at a relatively high clip, he has shown an increased tendency to work counts and draw more walks this season. Defensively, Ortiz's big frame and bat-first approach have mainly limited him to first base with the Rangers, though an occasional appearance in the corner outfield is not uncommon. Ortiz has now strung together two big weeks, earning himself back-to-back nods as one of RotoBaller's prospect risers. From June 27 to July 1, he went 7-for-16 (.438) with three homers, seven RBI, four walks, and five strikeouts. He is certainly due for a promotion to Double-A in the coming weeks.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
