Joey Ortiz Could Be Part Of 3B Mix In Milwaukee
10 months agoMilwaukee Brewers infielder Joey Ortiz, who was acquired in the deal that sent right-hander Corbin Burnes to the Baltimore Orioles, is No. 58 on The Athletic's Keith Law's prospects list and could be part of Milwaukee's third base mix in 2024. He could also slide over to shortstop if the Brewers trade Willy Adames. Andruw Monasterio, who had a .330 on-base percentage but only a .348 slugging % in 2023, Owen Miller and Tyler Black are other options for the hot corner for the Brew Crew. Black can swing it, but there are questions about his defense. Brock WIlken, the 18th overall pick out of Wake Forest last year, is also an option in the pipeline for down the road. The 25-year-old Ortiz could end up being Milwaukee's Opening Day starter at third if he impresses in spring training.
