Nathan Ortega, Lancaster (TX), 2025 Positional Profile: SS/2B Solid tools to work with, opportunities for adjustments increasing value of ability. Body: 5-6, 159-pounds. Smaller build with good frame to add strength. Hit: RHH. Solid set up with feet past shoulders, some weight set into back leg. Shifts remaining weight into back leg to initiate short stride. Lands in good position to hit. Rotational back foot, body lays back in swing killing any momentum that lower 1/2 has developed with back foot rotation. Hits off firm front side, must find ability to get body upright to hit. Hands/barrel start in good position to launch. Fair bat/hand speed present. Some length to swing, casts barrel out instead of taking more direct path in zone with barrel. Uphill swing created by body laying back in swing, correcting this would result in more line drive contact. 65.1 mph bat speed with 7 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 82.1 mph. 316' max distance. Solid contact off barrel. Upside to bat/power combo with adjustments to hit approach and swing adjustments. Can improve. Arm: RH. INF-78 mph. Arm works with fair arm speed. Would benefit from long toss program increasing arm speed. Defense: Solid defensive actions with good feet getting body into position to field. Avg 1st step quickness. Shows body control fielding. Hands work fielding. ATH: 7.74 runner in the 60. 1.87 and 4.27 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard. max vertical.
