LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 National Showcase
Mark Ortega is a lean athletic 6'2/185 INF from Palm Beach Gardens, FL. Ortega solidified his reputation as one of the top defensive players in the country during the game competition at the National with several sterling plays. He projects to add strength and power to his solid line drive swing as he matures. He has a perfect MLB type body with some projection left. He has a nice strong fluid arm and shows outstanding inf actions. He has excellent quick hands and very good instincts. He runs OK but that is his weakest tool as of now. He is a big time player who could gain some serious high draft interest, especially if he shows scouts the hitting ability that we've seen in the past. Mark is a very good student. He was selected to the AFLAC All American Team.
