A good catcher is a necessity for any team to move into the playoffs, and the Baltimore Orioles have at least one who’s got the arm to get the team there – eventually.
That one is Pedro Severino.
In a piece from MLB.com, Severino was rated as one of the best arms in the AL East. He was rightfully included in a conversation with powerful outfield arms like Kevin Kiermaier, Aaron Judge, and Jackie Bradley Jr.
In the AL overall in 2019, Severino’s arm strength (which is rated by how fast he can throw a ball to second base) was seventh overall.
