Scouting report

The Rangers wasted no time in starting to move Ornelas all over the field -- shortstop, second base, third base, left field, and now some center field in 2021 -- cementing the notion that his future rests in a valuable super utility role. He hit pretty well in 2019 despite skipping the Northwest League and heading right to full season ball as an 18-year-old, slashing .257/.333/.373 with a bunch of doubles. I'm still not entirely keen on Johnny O's bat path, which I think will make it hard for him to hit for everyday power if left unaltered, but he's an excellent rotational athlete who I think will find ways to hit the ball hard all over the field, while he plays several different positions. He needs to be more selective to realize that outcome.
