The Mountain is back with a vengeance. Until yesterday when he gave up a solo HR in a game that was already over, Bautista hadn’t allowed a run since March 31st. He’s currently rocking a 2.25 ERA and averaging 11.9 strikeouts per 9 innings.

Ryan O’Hearn Just Knows How to Hit

First on the team in walk rate, and smoking baseballs at a 52.5% hard-hit rate (balls hit over 95 mph). The O’s slash line leader, hitting an impressive .303/.395/.556 so far. A steady presence in the number 4 spot.

Cedric Mullins Continues to Entertain

He’s started this year with one of the best stretches of his career. Mullins leads all Oriole hitters in home runs, RBI, stolen bases, and walks. When Mullins is hot, his unique set of tools make him one of MLB’s best center fielders.

Tomoyuki Sugano is the Rotation’s Saving Grace

Sugano has been the unquestioned ace of a starting rotation that has been the worst in the MLB so far. Untimely injuries to Zach Eflin and Grayson Rodriguez has forced Sugano to embrace the “stopper” role in the rotation.

Corbin Burnes’ Baltimore chapter lasted just one season, but what a season it was: 32 starts, a 2.92 ERA, 181 Ks, and a 1.10 WHIP.

Now, he’s off to Arizona, signing a 6-year, $210M deal with the Diamondbacks. Big loss for the O’s, but Burnes gets paid and lands in the desert.
