The Milwaukee Brewers have a bit of a reputation for defense, and Joey Ortiz has already established himself as one of the best at the hot corner.
While his contributions on defense have been a key to Milwaukee’s success, will Ortiz heat up at the plate in time for the playoffs?
Ortiz was already on fire at the start of the season. By the end of May he was hitting .288 with five home runs, leading to a 147 wRC+. He then went through a rough patch for about two months, dropping to a 73 wRC+ through June and July.
