He completed at least 6.0 innings in 17 starts and his 20.9 percent strikeout rate was his highest since 2018 (22.7%).

Gibson spent the 2023 season with the Orioles, going 15-9 with a 4.73 ERA (101 ER/192.0 IP) in 33 starts. He tied for the American League lead in starts, tied for third in wins, and ranked sixth in the AL in innings. Gibson was the Opening Day starter.

Gibson also earned the honor in 2022 as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies.
A native of Greenfield, Ind., Gibson was selected by Minnesota in the first round (No. 22 overall) of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Missouri. He was a 2021 American League All-Star and was a 2011 Futures Game participant. Gibson is 112-108 with a 4.52 ERA (936 ER/1,865.2 IP) in 330 career games (324 GS) between the Cardinals, Orioles, Phillies, Twins, and Texas Rangers.

The three honorees will be recognized on Friday, August 8, at a luncheon at Oriole Park hosted by the Oriole Advocates, founders of the Orioles Hall of Fame.

Jones spent 11 of his 14 major league seasons in a Baltimore uniform (2008-18) following his acquisition from the Seattle Mariners on February 8, 2008. He ranks among all-time franchise leaders (since 1954) in hits (4th, 1,781), home runs (5th, 263), RBI (5th, 866), runs (5th, 875), doubles (7th, 305), and games played (8th, 1,613). His 93 career outfield assists are tied with NICK MARKAKIS for second in team history behind PAUL BLAIR (105), both also Orioles Hall of Famers.
A five-time All-Star (2009, 2012-15), Jones is one of six Orioles in franchise history to be named an All-Star in at least five seasons, joining CAL RIPKEN, JR. (19), BROOKS ROBINSON (15), EDDIE MURRAY (7), JIM PALMER (6), and MIKE MUSSINA (5). A four-time Gold Glove Award winner in center field (2009, 2012-14), Jones’ 2009 Gold Glove marked the first by a Baltimore outfielder since Blair (1975), while his 2013 Slugger Award was the first by an Orioles outfielder since the award was created in 1980.
Jones was a three-time Roberto Clemente Award nominee (2011, 2013, 2016), an annual recognition of a player from each MLB club that “best represents the game of baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field.” He finished his Orioles career with six Heart and Hustle Award nominations (2012, 2014-18) and three Most Valuable Oriole recognitions (2011-13). He officially retired from baseball as a Baltimore Oriole on September 15, 2023, and in January 2025, returned to the organization as a Special Advisor to the General Manager and Community Ambassador.
Orsulak spent five seasons with the Orioles from 1988-92, batting .281 (579-for-2,059) with 97 doubles, 15 triples, 35 home runs, and 221 RBI in 632 games. In 1991, he recorded a single-season franchise record and MLB-leading 22 outfield assists. Since then, Washington’s Alfonso Soriano (2006) and Houston’s Richard Hidalgo (2003) are the only outfielders in the majors to record a 22-assist season. His 54 career outfield assists rank seventh in franchise history behind Blair (105), Jones/Markakis (93), AL BUMBRY (68), BRADY ANDERSON (57), and JACKIE BRANDT (54). Orsulak led Baltimore in batting average in 1988, 1989, and 1992, while ranking second in 1991 behind Ripken, Jr.
Davis, winner of the Herb Armstrong Award given to non-uniformed Orioles personnel, served as a fill-in radio and TV play-by-play broadcaster for Orioles games for three decades. A five-time Maryland Sportscaster of the Year winner, Davis began his career with WBAL-TV and WCBM Radio before joining WQSR-FM as a sportscaster on the No. 1-rated “Rouse & Company” morning show. Additionally, he hosted pre-and post-game “O’s Extra” shows on MASN, and continues to produce and host “Wall to Wall Baseball” and “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” Davis was honored with the John F. Steadman Lifetime Achievement Award by the Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019.

The Washington Nationals will host Negro Leagues Night at Nationals Park on Wednesday, June 18, teaming up the Josh Gibson Foundation to recognize the achievements of the Homestead Grays and Black players in Washington, D.C., prior to MLB’s integration. The evening will feature a pregame panel discussion of the impacts of the Negro Leagues in American baseball as well as a Josh Gibson bobblehead giveaway. To join the celebration of Black history and culture, visit nats.com/Promotions.
As part of Negro Leagues Night, the Nationals will host a panel, including Sean Gibson, great-grandson of Josh Gibson and other distinguished guests, to discuss last year’s inclusion of the Negro Leagues statistics into the Major League Baseball record books, the way that the Negro Leagues shaped baseball today and more. The pregame panel is open to all fans with a ticket to that day’s 6:45 p.m. matchup versus the Rockies.
Additionally, 20,000 fans in attendance for that evening’s game will receive a Josh Gibson bobblehead. One of the greatest home run hitters and most feared sluggers of any era, Gibson began his career in 1930 and played for the Pittsburgh Crawfords and Homestead Grays through 1946. The catcher from Buena Vista, Ga., was a 12-time All-Star, two-time Negro Leagues World Series champion, three-time Negro National League batting champion, two-time Triple Crown winner and, in 1972, became the second Negro Leagues player to be inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
In May 2024, Major League Baseball officially incorporated statistics from the Negro Leagues, which resulted in Gibson becoming MLB’s career leader in multiple offensive categories. With a .372 career batting average, he officially surpassed Ty Cobb (.367) as the all-time career leader in average. Often called the “Black Babe Ruth,” Gibson also overtook Ruth’s records as the career leader in slugging percentage (.718 vs. .690) and on-base plus slugging percentage (1.177 vs. 1.164). He also holds the all-time single-season record in those same categories. Gibson’s statue outside Nationals Park recognizes his Hall of Fame career, and he is one of six Grays players featured in the Ring of Honor. Gibson is also featured in the Homestead Grays exhibit in the ballpark’s Champions Club.
“Josh’s family and the Foundation are grateful that the Nationals are honoring the Negro Leagues and Josh on June 18,” said Sean Gibson, Executive Director, Josh Gibson Foundation. “For Josh and the Grays, Washington was their second home from 1940 onward. They played proudly before the local fans, delivering them multiple championships, and for Washington to celebrate their legacy and serve the community as we at the Foundation seek to do, well, it does justice to their memory. Thank you to the Nationals, and we look forward to a long partnership together.”
The Washington Nationals agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Kyle Finnegan on a one-year contract and designated Stone Garrett for assignment on Thursday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.
A National League All-Star in 2024, Finnegan, 33, rejoins the Nationals after he ranked third in Major League Baseball with a career-high 38 saves last season. Those 38 saves were the fourth-most in a season in Nationals history (2005-pres.). He finished the year with a 3.68 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 63.2 innings, including an 11.0-inning hitless streak from April 13-May 8, the second longest hitless streak in team history (2005-pres.).
Since the beginning of the 2021 season, Finnegan’s 266 relief outings rank tied for sixth in Major League Baseball, while his 88 saves rank ninth. He is also the only pitcher in baseball during that span to save 70 games and collect at least 35 holds.
After signing with Washington as free agent in December of 2019, Finnegan has gone 22-26 with a 3.56 ERA and 288 strikeouts in 290.1 innings. During his five seasons in Washington, he’s pitched in 291 games and collected 88 career saves, both good for third in Nationals history. He has also been voted Nationals Pitcher of the Year by the D.C. Media three times (2022, 2023, 2024) and is one of only two pitchers to have won the award more than once.
A native of Detroit, Mich., Finnegan was originally selected by the Athletics in the sixth round of the 2013 First Year Player Draft out of Texas State University.
