Portes dropped out of a Massachusetts high school midway through his senior
year, opting to play in a wood-bat league in Iowa. That move cost him in the
draft, but it helped him make a smooth transition to pro ball. Portes topped
the GCL in slugging (.530), tied for the lead in homers (eight) and finished
second in batting (.327).
"He's got extremely quick hands," Ingram said. "You can't throw the fastball
by him."
Portes started the season at shortstop, eventually moving to third. He has
sufficient arm strength to play on the left side but needs to working on his
accuracy. Most of his 24 errors came on throws. He could end up in the outfield
if he doesn't correct the problem, but his bat should play anywhere.
