The Baltimore Orioles have question marks all over the diamond heading into 2019, and third base is no exception. Many expect that Renato Nunez will retain his spot in the starting lineup, and he’ll more than likely have the first opportunity to hold down the hot corner for the Orioles next year. But top prospect Ryan Mountcastle will be aiming to take the spot from Nunez, and potentially as soon as 2019.
After the team claimed him off waivers from the Texas Rangers in May, Nunez was one of the better hitters for the Orioles in 2018.
