Tigers Prospect Profile #41: Jose Ortega
Jose Ortega and his mid-90s fastball had excelled as he worked his way up the
ladder, that is, up until 2011, when he struggled working out of the Toledo
bullpen. Can he iron out his issues, and does he have a shot at the big league
club this spring?
前年,Ortega靠著火球在農場迅速竄起,從1A跳三級到2A,進到40-man roster,結果去
年在3A Toledo踢到鐵板,現在他的困境有辦法問題嗎?開季牛棚可能有它的一席之地嗎?

Position: Right-handed Pitcher
Height: 5-11
Weight: 185
Born: 10/12/1988
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
Background
Ortega made his professional debut as an 18-year old in the Venezuelan Summer
League in 2007. He pitched two seasons in the VSL, totaling a 2.25 ERA in 33
relief appearances. Across his 56 innings he allowed just 52 hits, walked 18
and struck out 38.
2007年,18歲少年仔Ortega在Venezuelan夏季聯盟展開職業生涯,兩年間33場中繼出賽,
ERA 2.25、56局52安38K (不怎麼多)18保送
When the Tigers brought him stateside in 2009 they didn't waste any time
pushing him, sending him to Oneonta when the short-season opened in June. He
posted a 3.97 ERA in 25 outings, allowing 28 hits and 23 walks in 34 innings.
He struck out nearly a batter per inning (32).
2009飛到美國,跳過菜鳥聯盟直接從Oneonta出發,成績還不錯 (見原文),重點是三振
變多了
The 2010 season was when Ortega really took off. Starting the season in
West Michigan he allowed a 4.56 ERA in 18 outings before a surprise promotion
to High-A Lakeland. With the Flying Tigers he posted a miniscule 0.95 ERA with
only 14 hits allowed in 19 innings while striking out twenty batters.
He was then promoted to Erie later that year and posted a 3.04 ERA across 15
games. He again yielded less than a hit per inning and struck out nearly a hit
per inning.
2010對Ortega來說是個美好一季,在West Michigan開季,結果在成績普普ERA 4.56下
莫名其妙被升到A+ Flying Tigers (通常有幾中狀況:1.球團看到我們數據以外看不到
的那道光 2.他被當成roster filler隨意補洞)
在Lakeland他可殺了,19局只被擊出14安、20K,防禦率嚇死人:0.95
這時讓他升到2A就沒啥異議了,最終又在這出賽15場,防禦率3.04,其餘數據還是很類
似,被安打比投球局數少,三振接近一局一次
At 22-years old the Tigers again promoted Ortega, sending him to Toledo to open
the 2011 season. In 33 games for the Hens he logged 50 innings but was the most
hittable of his career; giving up 61 hits and allowing 27 walks for a whopping
1.76 WHIP.
去年,眼看離大聯盟就差一步,結果Ortega在這裡爆炸一整季,沒有任何一段時間有回
復的跡象,成績我都不好意思說了…(詳見原文)
Scouting Report
Ortega offers a bit of a dichotomy for scouts. There is initial excitement
upon seeing the radar gun light up with 94-95 mph velocity and the occasional
97 or 98 tossed in. That excitement often wavers as you watch him more and see
the rest of the package.
Standing just 5-foot-11 Ortega lacks the prototypical height of a right-handed
pitcher and that works against him on the mound. His fastball doesn't have much
angle to the plate and doesn't change planes as it approaches the hitter.
Despite his explosive velocity and some life his fastball is quite hittable. He
works up in the zone consistently without the command to elevate with location.
對球探來說,觀察Ortega可以分兩個階段,一開始會被他94-95MPH,有時可以飆到97.98
的火球給吸引,但接著看下去……
首先,矮投手無法避免的缺陷 (他只有5'11),出手角度對打者就是少了點威脅,同時他
的速球到尾巴就沒力了不太會跑,相較一般火球實在好打得多 (這方面好像R.Perry),
控球也缺乏火侯…
In 2010 several scouts gave future above-average grades to Ortega's slider but
those scores disappeared in 2011. He lacked depth on his slider last year and
seemed tentative when throwing it. Without his slider at its best Ortega is
left with two single-plane pitches that don't have the velocity separation to
deceive hitters.
2010年火紅的時候,Ortega有一顆不錯的滑球做搭配,但今年這顆球卻消失了,這樣他就
只是一台球速很快的發球機
Orgeta's delivery is high effort and he struggles to repeat it despite solid
athleticism. He gains some deception from his delivery but not enough to make
up for his poor command and control.
投球機制有點暴力,也無力維持穩定出手點,藏球術變好了,但還是彌補不了"掉漆"的
控球
Ortega is a fierce competitor on the mound and he will attack hitters. When he
is throwing strikes he likes to work the inner half of the plate and isn't
afraid of hitting batters.
投手丘上的勇者,勇於跟打者挑戰,大喊:打的到就來打阿!!
Because his raw stuff doesn't miss tons of bats Ortega falls short of reaching
a setup or closer ceiling. He could be a solid multi-inning power arm that
bridges the gap between a poor start and the late inning relievers.
是火球但不能讓打者打不到,set-up或closer就別想了,投超過1局的6局中繼投手還
可以期待

Health Record
Ortega missed the very start of the 2011 season with some tightness in his
right shoulder. There have long been concerns about his durability because of
his slight frame and high effort delivery. All indications are he was fine
later in the year but this bears watching in 2012.
去年Ortega因為肩膀有點緊繃開季休息過一段時間,雖然接下來沒再傳出噩耗,新球季
還是得多加注意,長期而言,大家對他耐戰度還是有些疑慮。
The Future
Ortega is currently on the Tigers 40-man roster and he should enter big league
spring training with an outside shot at earning a job in Detroit.
40-man roster,將在大聯盟參加春訓,爭取任何待在這的機會
A more likely scenario has him returning to Triple-A Toledo for a second season.
There he will be in a position to continue working to improve his command while
also regaining the depth and bite on his slider.
不過現在看來回3A繼續磨練控球跟滑球才是合理的選項
With a successful start to the year, Ortega has a good chance to make his
Major League debut in 2012.
一切順利,今年就是Ortega大聯盟生涯元年
