Career
Ortiz was signed by the Pirates out of the Dominican Republic in 2018 for $25,000. By late 2021, his fastball had reached as high as 99 miles per hour (159 km/h).[1]
While pitching for the Altoona Curve in 2022, Ortiz threw two immaculate innings in a span of just 25 days, four fewer than the shortest known span between such innings by a Major League pitcher.[2]
Ortiz was promoted to the majors for the first time on September 11, 2022.[3] Pirates general manager Ben Cherington told the press that the club intended to use the remainder of the season to assess the quality of starting pitching in their organization.[4]
