We have finally reached the 2019 all-star break, and for the Baltimore Orioles, this means the suffering is on pause.
The O’s finished the first half 27-62 putting them on pace to finish the season 49-113 which is only two games better than the 47-115 record they posted in 2018.
Despite an expected rough season, there have been some Orioles who have produced some solid play.
Today, we provide you with the 2019 Orioles first-half breakout player, biggest surprise, team Cy Young and MVP.
Breakout Player: Hanser Alberto
When the Orioles claimed Hanser Alberto off waivers this off-season, it’s hard to believe the expected him to be anything more than a depth piece in either the majors or minors.
