A three-year starter at Buchanan, Ortiz hit .304 as a senior, with two homers and 11 RBIs. He played for the Utah Marshalls club team last summer.

Ortiz is the son of former major league infielder Jose Ortiz, who played with Oakland, Colorado and in Japan and Mexico during a 19-year professional career. His older brother J.D. plays at UC Santa Barbara; another older brother, Alex, plays at Reedley (jr.) College in California.

The Knights are the four-time WCL champion. They will announce the 2020 schedule in the near future.
