Question
I met a baseball player who told me he plays for the Baltimore Orioles Minor League. I cant find any information on him and was wondering if you could tell me if you knew of him? His name is Junior Ortiz and he said he is number 24.
Thankyou!

Answer
Hi Brooke,

  There is currently no player with the last name Ortiz listed on any of the Oriole minor league rosters at the official Oriole site. However, the rookie league Bluefield Oriole roster isn't completely set yet so there's the possibility he could be scheduled to play there. But since I can't find any information on him doing a Google search, my hunch is that this person is pulling your leg.
