FSU’s staff hasn’t been able to hit the fields and scout, but they’ve kept active on the recruiting trail this summer. Since Mike Martin Jr. was promoted and Mike Metcalf was hired as his recruiting coordinator, a few trends have become apparent: projectable pitchers, athletic INF/OF, and physical backstops. The ‘Noles picked up their second physical backstop of the 2022 class tonight in Santiago Ordonez.
Ordonez comes out of Coconut Creek, FL and Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS. In his shortened sophomore season, Ordonez hit .529 with two HR’s in six games. The catcher has a short and stocky frame, standing at 5’9, 180 pounds.
