The Los Angeles Angels signed a plethora of outfielder last off-season in hopes of filling the void they have had over the past few years in left field. One player who got the opportunity to show what he could do was Rafael Ortega.
The first thing you will notice with Ortega is that he has tremendous speed and is an excellent defender. In mid-May Ortega flashed the leather against their SO CAL rivals the Los Angeles Dodgers. As the Angels were trying to hang on to a 7-4 lead in the ninth, the Dodgers Carl Crawford led off and sliced a line drive that was headed into the left-field corner.
