Ray Ortega

Ray Ortega, known to everyone as Sensei, runs the dugout for the Glow Mojis. The Chili Peppers staff page says he joined the organization in 2026 after more than a decade of professional coaching, including two seasons with the San Francisco Giants organization.

His coaching story reads like a tour of modern baseball. A 2025 profile from the USPBL says he was Player Development Coach for the Sacramento River Cats in 2019, the year they won the Triple-A National Championship, and later spent two summers as hitting coach and bench coach for the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. The team's staff page adds that he helped set more than a dozen Atlantic League records from 2021 to 2023, and that he was part of the Savannah Bananas staff that won their first Banana Ball Championship in 2024.

That Bananas chapter helps explain why Cosmic fits him. The same USPBL profile describes him leading a league initiative called Real Baseball, Real Fun, built around making the fan experience more entertaining without changing the game itself. It notes he has coached more than 200 players who went on to the major leagues, and it quotes his simple philosophy that baseball is fun.

Players talk about him warmly, too. On the Cosmic Confessions podcast, Mojis lefty Neil Lang calls Sensei a mentor and a big influence on how he approaches starting pitching.

As for following along: we could not find a public Instagram, TikTok or YouTube account for Ray on any page we checked, and neither the staff page nor the USPBL profile lists one. The best way to catch him is at the ballpark and on the official Chili Peppers channels.
