Anybody remember this former SS prospect for the Orioles? He was a strong armed, strong defensive minded player whose bat never really played above A-ball level.
When the announcement was made that he was going to try to resume his career as a pitcher I really didn't think much of it. The early results in his first two seasons were so-so.
But, this year at AA Bowie he is the team's closer and check out what he's been doing. He is 9/10 in saves, has a 1.27 ERA in 28 innings, has not allowed a HR, walked only 9 and has struck out 41. He's second on the team in K's only to Parker Bridwell who is a starter. It is nice to see the progression in his bb/k ratio because that is one of the main indicators I look for in a pitcher and progression.
He's only 25 years old so he might actually have a future for the Orioles as a reliever.
