Top Performer Spotlight: 2020 SS Brandon Ortiz (Warwick HS)
January 22, 2018
The last chance preview (Nov. 18) in Ardsley, NY displayed 60 high-end prospects showing off their skill-sets in front of our PBR NY scouting staff and finally the smoke as cleared. We are fast-at-work piecing together all the scouting data we collected. Today we highlight a player who's performance earns an extra look.
Ortiz is a 5-foot-10, 160 pound SS/2B with an athletic build. He ran a 6.95 60. Offensively - Right handed hitter with an exit velo of 77 MPH. Slightly open stance with minimal leg kick. Showed the ability to hit to all fields with a consistent short swing, while using his lower half. Balanced approach start to finish. Defensively - Excellent footwork and angled attack. Hands and body flow through the ball. Was able to throw through a variety of arm angles, with an infield velocity of 79 MPH. Should be able to handle both MIF positions as he fills out his frame.
