Ortega is a right handed relief pitcher.
Jose’s main issue has been his BB rate. 6.3 BB/9 in parts of three seasons in limited duty in the majors, and from 5.8 to 7.3 BB/9 in the minors over the past three seasons. His WHIP is north of 1.50 again this year, as it is for his career.
Ortega was probably on his way off the roster a year ago, but had a solid year in Toledo with a 1.86 ERA. He still walked over 5 batters per nine. If not now, he was destined to be removed from the roster by November.
