The back of Raul Ortega's 1967 Venezuelan card says he was a back-up outfielder and pinch hitter that previous year, although he was equally capable of playing the infield. His baseball-reference entry for 1970 under the Saraperos de Saltillos team of the Mexican League has him pegged as a shortstop, if it's the same player. I found an entry for him with Saltillos in the Mexican League Encyclopedia, which matched B-R.com's .500 batting average for him. But strangely, there was no listing for him in the major alphabetical listing of batters from all teams in the league, where one can usually find the position played.
