Luis Ortiz bounced around between Minor and Major League play, appearances as a starter on the mound and in relief, but it seems now in the second half of the season that he is finding his groove as he looking strong with a good stretch of starts.
Starting off this year as a bright spot in the bullpen, Ortiz saw his first 21 appearances come in relief. Slowly but surely his relief appearances would get longer, yielding positive results, which eventually saw him get moved back into the rotation. Injuries to Bailey Falter and Jared Jones saw Ortiz get the shot that he needed to show he’s still a capable starter, and really since then he has not looked back.
