Baltimore Orioles: Chris Tillman Is Attempting A Comeback

From 2009-2018, RHP Chris Tillman donned a Baltimore Orioles jersey, leading the franchise in wins (76), innings pitched (1,145.0), and strikeouts (847) during his ten seasons in the big leagues, including two 16-win seasons and an All-Star appearance in 2013.

Despite being worth more than 2.0 Wins Above Replacement just three times during his career (career-high of 2.5 in 2016), Tillman was the top pitcher of the decade for the Baltimore Orioles, which says a lot more about the state of Orioles pitching recently than anything else.

Now, after not pitching in 2019, Joel Sherman of the New York Post is reporting that Tillman will be throwing for teams this spring as he attempts a comeback to the major leagues.
