Welcome to the Majors, Joe Ortiz.
Now I am not going to be doing these posts for EVERY player who makes his MLB debut (no way do I have time to make cards for every debutante), but I thought it would be nice to feature the guy who made the first debut of the 2013 campaign. I am looking forward to seeing how he, and the rest of the debuting players, do during the season.
Sincerely,
JayBee Anama
