Jorge Cortez (born September 4, 1972 in Panama City, Panama) is a baseball pitcher who is perhaps most notable for being on Panama's roster in the 2006 World Baseball Classic and the 2009 World Baseball Classic. His last name is also spelled Cortes. In the 2001 Baseball World Cup, Cortez got a start against the Canadian team, holding them to four hits in 7 1/3 innings. He pitched in the 2002 Intercontinental Cup, going 1-1 with a 9.39 ERA. Along with three other players, Cortez was caught doping during the Intercontintal Cup, thus costing Panama their bronze medal. Cortez was banned from international play for two years.
