Player of the Week: Christian Ortega’s Bat Stays Hot in Mid-July Stretch

Christian Ortega continues to be a driving force for the Brantford Red Sox, earning Player of the Week honors for his consistent production from July 11 to July 13. Despite the team dropping three close contests, Ortega remained a bright spot in the lineup, delivering timely hits and keeping the offense alive.

Over the three-game stretch, Ortega went 4-for-14, posting a .286 batting average and driving in 4 RBIs. He added a double and maintained a strong OPS of .948, showing his ability to generate offense even in tough matchups. His standout game came on July 12 against Barrie, where he went 2-for-5 with a double and 2 RBIs, helping Brantford stay within striking distance.

Ortega’s season numbers continue to impress, with a .336 batting average, .561 slugging percentage, and .387 OBP, making him one of the most reliable hitters in the Red Sox lineup. His ability to stay locked in and deliver under pressure has made him a cornerstone of Brantford’s offense.

As the Red Sox look to bounce back, Ortega’s steady bat and leadership will be key in turning the tide. Keep an eye on #1—he’s not slowing down anytime soon.
