Player Outlook
Abimelec Ortiz has been a first base prospect of note since his breakout season in 2023, but his stellar run at Triple-A to close 2025 marks the first time he's been at least 30 percent better than league average (133 wRC+) at an age-appropriate level. A 5-foot-10, 230-pound lefty hitter, Ortiz was promoted to the Pacific Coast League on Aug. 5 after logging 204 games at Double-A over the past two seasons. He had a 53.8 HardHit% and .316 BABIP while slashing .283/.388/.565, so it seems like his success in his first taste of Triple-A was earned. Ortiz is a flyball hitter whose contact and strikeout metrics have never been in the danger zone, but he hasn't produced enough against left-handed pitching (OPS below .700 each of the last two seasons) to realistically play every day at the bottom of the defensive spectrum. His realistic upside is capped as a strong-side platoon first baseman who doesn't hurt your batting average or on-base percentage while chipping in 20-plus home runs. He's on the 40-man roster and could push Jake Burger and/or Joc Pederson for playing time early this season if either veteran is struggling.

  • Nationals' Abimelec Ortiz: Shipped to Washington

    Rotowire
    The Rangers traded Ortiz, Gavin Fien, Alejandro Rosario (elbow), Devin Fitz-Gerald (shoulder) and Yeremy Cabrera to the Nationals on Thursday in exchange for MacKenzie Gore, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. Ortiz split time between Double-A and Triple-A last year, slashing .257/.356/.479 with 25 homers, 89 RBI and 85 runs scored between the two levels. The 23-year-old first baseman was awarded a 40-man roster spot in November and will now presumably compete with Andres Chaparro for the starting job in Washington.

  • Rangers' Abimelec Ortiz: Power, Ks at Triple-A

    Rotowire
    Ortiz is slashing .269/.370/.538 with six home runs and a 28.3 percent strikeout rate in 23 games for Triple-A Round Rock. The lefty slugger's production has been 20 percent better than the average Pacific Coast League hitter in his first taste of the highest level of the minors. Ortiz, 23, repeated Double-A this year and slashed .247/.343/.444 with 16 home runs and a 22.3 percent strikeout rate in 89 games for Frisco before getting promoted to the Express on Aug. 5. He has started seven games in right field and 15 games at first base since getting to Triple-A. Texas will need to add Ortiz to the 40-man roster this offseason or leave him exposed to the Rule 5 draft.
