Ortiz is Back!
Esteban Ortiz has been hired by Calgary to take over as the pitching coach in Quebec. Ortiz pitched for 20 seasons in the BBA, all but his last with Calgary. He retired after the 2036 season.
He began as a starter in 2017, then split his time between the rotation and the bullpen before becoming a full time reliever in 2024. He made his most starts in 2021 with 28 and finished with a 12-10 record for the Landis winning club. Yes a familiar refrain, Calgary has brought back another player from their 2021 team.
Ortiz was never a star, but was a reliable middle reliever. He pitched in 880 games and finished with a record of 88-69-17, 4.00 ERA. His 875 games pitched is the most in the history of the Pioneers. Ortiz was remarkable as a lefty specialist in 2034 and 2035 when he posted a 1.93 ERA over 137 games when he was age 37 and older.
Ortiz is the 12th player from Calgary’s 2021 team that is currently coaching in their system and the 6th pitcher. The other pitchers from the team are Steve Thomas. Perry Eccles, Silas Thompson, Jorge Jimenez and Fox Mulder. The hitters are Terry Cochran, Hector Cano, Nicholas Brody, Tony Franco, Carl Long and Dan Leonard. Don Goodwin, Pat Curry. Bryan Vogel and Bernardo Perez are also former Pioneers coaching in the system. While Johnnie Oh never played for the team, his father Sadaharu Oh, Jr. Played for the team and his godfather was Johnnie Iraq. His younger brother Sadaharu Oh, III plays for Las Vegas.
