Mike Baumann

Baumann broke camp with the Orioles as a reliever in 2022, but he was often shuttled between the big leagues and Triple-A Norfolk. In the majors, he had a subpar 4.72 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across 13 games (four starts). He wasn't much better in the minors, logging a 4.20 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 81:25 K:BB through 60 innings in 20 appearances (nine starts). At 27 years old, Baumann's running out of time to establish himself as a major-league starter, especially with several Baltimore prospects knocking on the door. He boasts a four-pitch repertoire headlined by a four-seamer that touches 96 mph and a 91.5 mph slider that generated a 22.5 percent whiff rate in the majors in 2022. Baumann has a career 47.1 percent groundball rate in the majors, so that works in his favor, but he'll likely be competing for a back-end rotation spot in 2023 and could again be a player that sees an evolving role throughout the season.
