Ryan O'Hearn, trying to avoid being "one-hit wonder" has specific plans to improve

SARASOTA, Fla. – Ryan O’Hearn is proof that it’s not all about making the Opening Day roster. He didn’t last year but he went on to become a key Oriole, one that would hit in the middle of the club’s batting order. This after producing a .683 OPS in parts of five seasons with Kansas City. The O’s acquired him for cash considerations on Jan. 3, 2023

With new cutter, Irvin still competing for rotation spot

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Today is Jake Irvin Day as the big right-hander finally gets to make his first start of spring training. Yes, the 27-year-old has already appeared in two Grapefruit League games, but both were in relief out of the bullpen. Tonight he’ll jog out of the visiting dugout in the bottom of the first inning of the Nationals’ game a

Sharing Orioles observations through workouts and 13 exhibition games

SARASOTA, Fla. – The first of two off-days has arrived on the Orioles’ spring training schedule. Golf outings, fishing excursions, time with family, the choice to sleep late. And that’s just the media. The Orioles have played 13 games and won 11, a nice little statistic that means very little. TT Bowens broke a 2-2 tie Sunday with a three-run, nint

Santander puts slump on hold with homer, Teheran impresses again in second outing (O's win 6-4)

SARASOTA, Fla. – Anthony Santander swung the bat, dropped it and began jogging to first base. His eyes stayed locked on the baseball. He wanted to watch it disappear over the right field fence. The wait was over. He earned the chance to enjoy his work before picking up the pace. Santander hit a two-run homer tonight off Pirates ace Mitch Keller in

In chasing improved command, Chayce McDermott took nice step versus the Phillies

SARASOTA, Fla. – For young Orioles pitcher Chayce McDermott, the club’s Jim Palmer Award winner last year as the top minor league pitcher, his outing Tuesday in Clearwater was a nice step in his development. Usually a starter, he pitched in relief and with not a ton of notice when he would throw. But he pitched scoreless ball in the seventh and eig

JUPITER, Fla. – Dylan Crews has grabbed a lot of attention at Nationals spring training, and rightfully so as last summer’s No. 2 overall pick. But it’s been James Wood who has taken a lot of the spotlight with the highlight reel he has put together so far in camp. It was only a matter of time before Crews joined him. The Nationals’ top prospect fi

SARASOTA, Fla. – Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins expects to return to the lineup next week after exiting Monday’s game with a sore right hamstring. Mullins underwent an MRI that came back “clean,” eliminating any concerns about an extended absence. “Kind of what I expected,” he said this morning. “It felt like a cramping sensation, so we shut

SARASOTA, Fla. – As we watched right-hander Albert Suárez emerge it seemed out of nowhere to fan seven Philadelphia Phillies in three scoreless innings yesterday in Clearwater, we could wonder further if there is another to come out of nowhere in that clubhouse? Suárez got 12 whiffs on 23 swings while touching 97.5 mph on the radar gun. Brandon Hyd

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – By recent standards, the Nationals were unusually quiet at last year’s trade deadline despite being in last place and receiving interest in a handful of their major league players. But general manager Mike Rizzo made only one move, sending third baseman Jeimer Candelario and cash to the Cubs for prospects DJ Herz and Kevin M
Not much roster clarity for Orioles

SARASOTA, Fla. – The Orioles break camp in less than three weeks, proving again that spring training moves just as fast as the offseason. Are we any closer to figuring out the 26-man roster? Not really. The club hasn’t made a particular move that serves as a spoiler. We know that Sam Hilliard fell out of the outfield competition quickly, returning

CLEARWATER, Fla. – For the Orioles it was another win today under the Florida sun. But this one might have more importance than some others. They saw their 20-year-old top prospect produce his best spring game while a 34-year-old pitcher fighting for a return to the majors fanned seven over three dominant, scoreless innings. It was quite the day fo

CLEARWATER, Fla. – Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins is still feeling discomfort today in his right hamstring but the club remains optimistic this will prove to be nothing too concerning or long-term at all. “It’s still a little bit sore,” manager Brandon Hyde said before today’s game with the Phillies in Clearwater. “I think he’s really positi
