D’Angelo Ortiz, the son of Boston Crimson Sox legend David Ortiz, earned a promotion on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old was promoted from the rookie-level Florida Complicated League Crimson Sox to Low-A Salem. Via 51 video games within the FCL, he slashed .273/.384/.305 with 18 RBI, 12 stolen bases, 34 strikeouts, and 27 walks.
Ortiz has performed 39 video games at first base and 13 at third base this season. The Crimson Sox initially chosen him out of Miami Dade Neighborhood School within the nineteenth spherical (567th total) of the 2024 MLB Draft.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder has showcased spectacular bat-to-ball expertise, however his father’s energy does not seem to have been handed down. D’Angelo Ortiz has but to report his first skilled residence run, and he did not homer in his earlier two seasons (54 video games) with the Brockton Rox of the Futures Collegiate League of New England.
Ortiz should discover some pop on the plate to proceed his rise within the Crimson Sox group. That mentioned, it is unfair to check him to arguably the best hitter in franchise historical past. He’ll look to carve out his personal identification on his street to the massive leagues.
