Abimelec Ortiz Makes MLB Debut | Washington Nationals News

Abimelec Ortiz, a seven-year journeyman from the minors and winter ball circuits, finally broke into the big leagues this past Sunday — his debut capped by a clutch double off a righty, a line drive to the warning track, and a moment his family witnessed from the stands. Acquired by the Nationals in January and drafted by the Rangers as an undrafted free agent, Ortiz’s path to the majors was paved with grit, including a spot on the 40-man roster and Spring Training reps. Manager praised his recent hot streak against righties, making this call-up timely — though he was optioned back to Triple-A after the loss to the Yankees. Ortiz, humble and focused, credited his family’s sacrifices and knows this is just the start of what’s to come. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
