Hannah Ortega has become UVU’s late-season spark in the circle
In the 2026 season, Hannah Ortega emerged as Utah Valley’s top arm over the final stretch, posting a 1.50 ERA across six appearances and 14 innings, and she delivered wins against Utah State and in a comeback over Abilene Christian. The lefty has shown value as a reliable relief weapon who can steady games under pressure, even after a bumpy start that included an early loss to Valparaiso. If you want a competitive, versatile LHP who can miss bats, keep hitters off balance, and handle high-leverage innings, she’s a strong fit.
