Explaining Trevor Rogers' surprising success in Boston

1 month ago | birdswatcher.com | Brendan Mortensen

In Rogers' five rehab appearances in the minors, he had a 7.71 ERA. How did he toss a big league shutout? Trevor Rogers' rehab starts didn't inspire much confidence. In his first start for the Norfolk Tides about one month ago, Rogers lasted just 1 2/3 innings, surrendering four earned runs, walking three, and striking out just two. Things didn't get much better over his next three starts in Triple-A.
New Statcast metric highlights area of potential improvement for Orioles

1 month ago | birdswatcher.com | Brendan Mortensen

Could a revamped ideal attack angle rate lead to better numbers at the dish for Baltimore? Baseball is guilty of information overload. Venturing over to any player’s Statcast page, you’ll find any number of potential rabbit holes to shimmy down. Navigating through the right twists and turns, however, can lead you to some incredibly in-depth answers to your most pressing questions.
One pitch could turn Orioles starter Kyle Gibson's season around

1 month ago | birdswatcher.com | Brendan Mortensen

The veteran right-hander can be more effective for Baltimore if he tweaks his pitch arsenal. Kyle Gibson doesn't boast an overwhelming arsenal, but it is a deep one. None of Gibson's pitches exceed an average of 92 mph, according to Statcast. The veteran relies on deception, location, and varying pitch speed. In the 2021 season, Gibson added a new offering to his repertoire: the sweeper.
Returning Orioles could provide exactly what Baltimore's lineup needs

1 month ago | birdswatcher.com | Brendan Mortensen

The O's are getting healthier and should start seeing improvement in their offensive numbers. Stop me if you've heard this one before: (insert Oriole here) is back, and it couldn't have come at a better time for a Baltimore ballclub in need of a pick-me-up. That award will be given to Zach Eflin on Sunday, but Friday it went to outfielder Tyler O'Neill, who is back on the active roster after missing time with a neck injury.
Orioles duo showing why they should be everyday players

A pair of left-handed bats are thriving for the Orioles. The calendar just flipped to May, but for the Baltimore Orioles, it may as well have flipped to September. This early in the season, a team with lofty expectations seldom manages games as "must-wins." But for the Orioles, who sit at just 13-20, a new month may bring a newfound sense of urgency, one that a winning team isn't accustomed to feeling this early. The O's starting rotation struggles have been well documented.
Gunnar Henderson’s recent tear brings life to Orioles lineup

1 month ago | birdswatcher.com | Brendan Mortensen

Baltimore's shortstop is rounding back to form after a slow start. Gunnar Henderson didn't have a traditional ramp up to the 2025 season. The 23-year-old suffered a right intercostal strain in late February after appearing in just three Spring Training games. He was forced to miss the beginning of the big league regular season, and instead started the year in Triple-A Norfolk. There, he mashed for the Tides, posting an .879 OPS.

How Coby Mayo's addition can spark Baltimore's offense

1 month ago | birdswatcher.com | Brendan Mortensen

The Orioles are recalling their No.2 prospect. The Orioles' lefty mashers haven't been mashing lefties to kick off 2025. A 600-game sample size would suggest that Tyler O'Neill's addition would've greatly bolstered the O's lineup against left-handers. The former Cardinals and Red Sox outfielder has an OPS close to .900 in his career against lefties, slugging .526. In an Orioles uniform, however, O'Neill has yet to record an extra-base hit against a left-handed pitcher, with an OPS down at .190.

Ranking available free agent catchers for Orioles to target heading into 2025

Oct 29, 2024 | birdswatcher.com | Michael Najarian

Here are three potential options for the Orioles to replace James McCann in 2025It's no secret the Orioles have work to do this offseason. They need to refortify their starting rotation, shore up the bullpen, and perhaps reshuffle their position player depth to try and give themselves the best chance to compete for a championship in 2025. One of the areas that could be due for a shakeup this winter is behind the plate.
