Scout report
P. Ortíz is a 26-year-old central defender at Houston Dynamo, rated 34.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 247th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (51.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.52 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ortíz.
Judged on this season alone, Ortíz graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets and 2.518 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 21).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, top 40% of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Ortíz is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ortíz missed 4 games through injury (wound, personal reasons, yellow cards) out of roughly 3 this season. The 20 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Output in context · Houston Dynamo finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 34.9, Ortíz carries the 34th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 40%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Houston Dynamo finished 12th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
