On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, top 27% of the 87 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 27 Ortiz is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.4 reflects that trajectory.
2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 21.8, Ortiz carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A (top 27%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 27, Ortiz sits on 4.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ortiz's projected Rating — 21.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
