Joey Ortiz finds offensive momentum in 2026 season with Brewers

Joey Ortiz has shown significant improvement in his hitting during the 2026 MLB season, highlighting his first successful bases-loaded hit with the Brewers. After struggling through earlier seasons, including a tough stretch below.200, Ortiz's performance took a turn for the better in June. Previously, he set a franchise record for plate appearances with the bases loaded but hadn't capitalized. The Brewers traded for him in February 2024, but Ortiz faced challenges with injuries and batting inconsistencies. As of now, his contributions have become crucial for the team as they navigate the season.
