2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ortiz entered the season as a prospect of note in a deep Pirates system, but he was nowhere near their top-10 and there was never much hype from the fantasy community until he actually pitched in the majors in mid-September. The sturdy 6-foot-2 righty quickly showed that his stuff merited attention, as he sat 98 mph with his high-spin four-seamer while touching 100 mph as a starter and also showed off an 88-mph slider that touched 90 mph. In four starts (16 innings), he only threw his 91-mph changeup 14 times (five percent), so for now he should be considered a two-pitch pitcher. That said, we've seen two-pitch pitchers with this type of fastball/slider combo break out in recent seasons, most notably Spencer Strider. The Pirates have no reason to pull the plug on Ortiz's development as a starter anytime soon, and his success will mainly hinge on his command/control, as he had a rough 14.5 BB% and an elite .136 average against in the majors.

Heads back to minors
The Pirates optioned Ortiz to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Since Ortiz wasn't scheduled to pitch again in 2022 after making a start Saturday in St. Louis, the Pirates chose to option him to open up room on the 28-man active roster for a player who can contribute over their final three games. Though he failed to escape the first inning against the Cardinals while serving up six earned runs, Ortiz still delivered a solid 4.50 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB in 16 innings over his first four big-league starts. He should get the chance to compete for a spot in the Bucs' Opening Day rotation next spring.
