Texas Rangers first base prospect Abimelec Ortiz was named the top player in the Texas League for his work last week.
The 22-year-old Puerto Rico native batted .524 last week for Double-A Frisco, going 11-for-21 with four home runs, a double, eight RBI, and four walks against three strikeouts. He played in five games and hit his home runs in bunches, with two in back-to-back games against Amarillo.
Earlier this season, Ortiz was among the Rangers’ top 30 prospects, according to MLB Pipeline, but has since dropped out of the top 30. Ortiz slashed .294/.371/.619/.990 with 33 home runs, 20 doubles, 101 RBI, and 49 walks in 109 games between Class-A Down East and High-A Hickory in 2023.
