Ordóñez hits the ball with authority to all fields. He has good strike-zone judgment and a short, quick stroke. He pulls the ball against left-handed pitchers but with opposite-field power against right-handers. As a fielder, he has a decent arm, a quick release and good accuracy. In an twelve-year career with the White Sox and Tigers, Ordóñez is a .312 hitter with 268 home runs and 1095 RBIs. He has been selected for the All-Star Game six times (1999-2001, 2003 and 2006-07) and has won three Silver Slugger awards (2000, 2002 and 2007). In 2007, he won the batting title for American League with an average of .363. He also established a career high with 139 runs batted in, and finished runner-up to Alex Rodriguez in the AL Most Valuable Player award voting.

The bat is a model NK 271s and has Ordonez' uniform number 30 stamped on the knob and applied in black marker on the barrel end.
