Ortiz consistently hits for power to all fields. For a slugger, he is a good two-strike hitter and a hard man to strike out. Like many left-handed power hitters, Ortiz feasts on pitches down and over the inside half of home plate. While he is below average in foot speed, Ortiz is a heads-up player who will try for the extra base hit at the right time. Rarely at first base, he catches what he gets to and has a decent arm, though he is fairly immobile on the field.
