D'Angelo Ortiz, son of Red Sox legend David Ortiz, has been promoted within the Boston Red Sox farm system after a successful stint in the Florida Complex League, where he achieved a notable batting average and several RBIs. He plays primarily as an infielder and is recognized for his contact hitting abilities. The decision to draft him was based on talent, not just his familial connection to David Ortiz. D'Angelo aims to establish his own identity in the sport as he progresses in his career.
I want to be D'Angelo. I take pride in my dad being who he was, and now it's time for me to take pride in being me and just focus on that.
D'Angelo Ortiz slashed .273/.384/.689 in 51 games at the Florida Complex League, with 18 RBI and 12 stolen bases.
The reason we selected him is due to a long-standing relationship our area scout has with the player, not just because of his father.
D'Angelo has played at first base and third base, showcasing his skills as a contact hitter in contrast to his father's power hitting.
