Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 20.4, Ortiz carries the 71st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 84 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
