SARASOTA, Fla. – Brandon Young will get noticed in any clubhouse for his height and long brown hair. He isn’t a lock to make the team, but man, those locks … Young is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Norfolk, but his first outing Sunday in his first major league camp teased just how good he can be in 2025. He tossed two scoreless innings ag

Today’s scheduled game between the Orioles and the Atlanta Braves at Ed Smith Stadium has been cancelled due to rain. There will be no makeup date. Seniors Stroll the Bases, sponsored by Sunways Senior Living Concierge, will now take place following the game on Tuesday, February 25, against the Detroit Tigers. Fans holding paid tickets for today's

SARASOTA, Fla. – Orioles closer Félix Bautista threw 25 pitches yesterday in his first live batting practice session. He’s going to do it again Wednesday or Thursday before likely making his Grapefruit League debut. Bautista marked yesterday as another positive step because he finally got to face hitters for the first time since his elbow-reconstru

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – It wasn’t the kind of hit most will remember. Dylan Crews has and will hit plenty more pitches a lot harder and create a lot more damage than he did with the slider he got from Astros reliever Miguel Castro in the Nationals’ exhibition opener Saturday afternoon. But ask Crews about that bloop RBI single over a drawn-in infie

SARASOTA, Fla. – Bryan Baker stumbled upon it almost by accident. A minute adjustment to his changeup grip that’s gotten noticed in bullpen sessions. Perhaps it marks the birth of another weapon that Baker can use to defend himself against hitters. Whether he’s doing it with the Orioles is another matter. One topic at a time. Baker faced three Pira

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – There were nerves, plenty of them, Shinnosuke Ogasawara admitted. And when the first major league batter he’d ever faced, Tyrone Taylor, ripped a ball to deep left-center, the Japanese left-hander held his breath for a moment as he waited to see where it would land. Once Jacob Young tracked it down at the base of the wall, O

CLEARWATER, Fla. – Samuel Basallo saw a first-pitch slider today from former Orioles reliever Nick Vespi and lined it into right field for a single at 107.4 mph. An earlier groundout registered at 104.9. Nothing subtle about his offensive game. Everyone knows about the bat, which creates loud noises in the cage and at the plate. He launched more ba

CLEARWATER, Fla. – Charlie Morton is scheduled to make his Orioles debut Tuesday afternoon against the Tigers in Sarasota. However, everything is tentative at the moment due to Monday’s forecast of heavy rain. Dean Kremer starts Monday against the Braves in Sarasota. Tomoyuki Sugano is supposed to make his debut Wednesday in Bradenton. “We’re kind

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The Nationals’ second game of the exhibition season provides a first opportunity for the team’s new infield to work as one unit. Today’s lineup against the Mets features returning shortstop CJ Abrams and second baseman Luis García Jr., plus new first baseman Nathaniel Lowe and third baseman Paul DeJong. It’s a quartet club o

CLEARWATER, Fla. – Samuel Basallo is behind the plate for this afternoon’s game against the Phillies in Clearwater, the first road trip for the Orioles. Colton Cowser is in left field after sitting out yesterday’s exhibition opener in Sarasota. Heston Kjerstad also makes his first appearance, starting in right field. Coby Mayo is the designated hit
