Joey Ortiz Called Up to MLB by Baltimore

BALTIMORE – For the second time in two seasons, a former Aggie has gotten the call to the Major Leagues. This time, the Baltimore Orioles have added infielder Joey Ortiz to the active roster. Ortiz will wear No. 65 and his first appearance will be his Major League debut.

Ortiz joins his former NM State teammate, Kyle Bradish, on the Baltimore Orioles. Both Ortiz and Bradish played for the Aggies in 2017 and 2018.

When Ortiz makes his Major League debut, he will become the seventh player in NM State history to play in the big leagues.
