Nearing the end of the MiLB.com organization all-stars, today we have the Tampa Bay Rays. (The site is posting the reports in alphabetical order.) Tyler Bortnick (Front Royal 06) made the list at second base. Here is Josh Jackson's writeup:
Second base -- Tyler Bortnick, Bowling Green (113 games), Charlotte (12 games): Bortnick, a 16th-rounder out of the 2009 Draft, enjoyed a solid first full season. He hit .295 with a .400 on-base percentage and a .445 slugging percentage while stealing 41 bases across Class A and Class A Advanced ball. His theft total ties him for second among Rays Minor Leaguers.
The 23-year-old Mentor, Ohio native spent the vast majority of the season at second base, but he also filled in at shortstop and DH.
Congrats, Tyler!
