The Orioles today announced the club’s minor league coaching staffs and player development assignments for the 2023 season. The coaching staffs of Triple-A Norfolk, Double-A Bowie, High-A Aberdeen, and Low-A Delmarva are listed below, along with the Florida Complex League and Dominican Summer League Orioles. The Orioles return the following manager

When it comes to how much a team may be improved from one year to the next we often look at what offseason additions they made. Did they get better there? We seldom look at improvements players already on the roster could make. During a media session with reporters last Friday at the Warehouse, O’s executive vice president and general manager Mike

Well, we're almost there now. Pitchers and catchers (and yours truly) report to West Palm Beach in five days, with the first workout of the spring to come the following afternoon. A long, mostly uneventful winter has nearly come to an end, and the prospect of actual baseball is tantalizingly close at last. We'll have plenty of spring training previ

Félix Bautista didn’t know whether the Orioles would put him on the 40-man roster to protect him from a 2021 Rule 5 draft that never happened. He didn’t know whether he’d break camp with the team. So many uncertainties that have been shed like unwanted pounds. Bautista became a dominant set-up man and closer as a 27-year-old rookie, and one of the

He is the pride of Valdosta, Ga., and now has his own Orioles-produced short film to prove that. He was the 21st overall player selected in the 2017 MLB Draft. He can throw a fastball 100 miles per hour and his name has been consistently on top 100 lists, most of them, since his draft day. But Dayton Layne Hall, known better as DL, still has some d

Fifty-five players appeared in a game for the Nationals last season, and six of them made their major league debuts in the process. At least one of those debuts, by Cade Cavalli, was both expected and promoted. The others, though, came as something of a surprise, whether it was Lucius Fox making the Opening Day roster, Jackson Tetreault and Evan Le

Orioles outfielder Austin Hays takes pride in his ability to field anything that comes his way. Or anyone. Hays was pouring beers at Crooked Crab Brewing Company in Odenton on Sunday, the Birdland Caravan’s final stop of the weekend, when a woman passed her 5-month-old daughter across the bar. An adorable and safe photo opportunity, with the baby s

It began yesterday and will run right up until the start of the Orioles major league spring training. Five of their top hitting prospects, none that have seen the majors just yet, will take part in an early hitting camp at Ed Smith Stadium. It will run through Feb. 14 in Sarasota. It will allow the young talent to be seen by manager Brandon Hyde an

There’s still time for things to change – for the team to sign another player or two, for others to make the club off minor-league deals, for someone to get hurt – but with eight days to go until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, we have a pretty good idea what the Nationals’ payroll is going to look like this season. What it’s going

Players are heading down to Sarasota ahead of the designated report dates for spring training, and not just the five hitting prospects attending the development camp that began yesterday. Gunnar Henderson’s flight landed two days ago. The five Orioles participating in the World Baseball Classic – outfielders Cedric Mullins and Anthony Santander, pi
