2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ornelas took another step forward in 2024, posting the best OPS (.871) of his minor-league career. Though it's fair to attribute some of his power progression to his spending the entire season in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, it's nonetheless promising that Ornelas belted 23 homers over 549 plate appearances last year after going deep a combined 14 times across 937 PAs in High-A and Double-A ball in 2021-22. Ornelas isn't going to be much of a base stealer, but he's struck out at less than a 20% clip in each stop above High-A and could be a decent source of homers if he can learn to hit the ball in the air more (his GB% has hovered in the upper-40s during his time in the minors). The Padres like Ornelas enough to have added him to the 40-man roster last July, and there's a good chance he'll make his MLB debut sometime in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

Recalled by San Diego
The Padres recalled Ornelas from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Ornelas wasn't able to crack the Padres' Opening Day roster despite a strong performance in spring training, but he'll make his way to the big club after Jason Heyward (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Ornelas started the Triple-A season slashing .281/.418/.359 with 13 walks, three stolen bases, 17 runs scored, one home run and seven RBI across 79 plate appearances. With Heyward sidelined, the lefty-hitting Ornelas could see some starts in the outfield in a platoon with Oscar Gonzalez.

Stat Review
How does Tirso Ornelas compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
Ornelas opened the year as the second-youngest player in the Midwest League, and while his slash line and counting stats may not stand out, it was a very impressive showing. He ranked top-15 in BB/K (0.59), Oppo% (36.8) and swinging-strike rate (7.9%), displaying one of the best approaches in the league while making contact at an elite clip, given his age and level. From a raw tools perspective, Ornelas (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) has a pretty swing from the left side and above-average raw power. He is still learning how to get to that power in games, but should be a 25-homer threat in a few years. The big selling point, however, is that his hit tool could be special. Ornelas can handle all three outfield spots, but he fits best in right field. He missed the final six weeks of the 2018 season with a wrist injury, but should be tested with an assignment to the hitter-friendly California League, where he will once again be one of the youngest players.
