In a year in which the Milwaukee Brewers vastly beefed up their minor league system, Brevard County Manatees pitcher, Jorge Ortega put together his best season as a professional. Coming off a career year, here is a look at why Ortega is not only our 28th best prospect in the Brewers’ system, but also why the 22-year-old pitcher may have a future in the major leagues.
During parts of four minor league seasons, Ortega showed poise and control but his numbers were nothing spectacular. While he was able limit walks, he was still hit hard at times which raised his ERA numbers.
