The Orioles entered 2024 with two pitching prospects set to debut at some point during the season. Cade Povich and Chayce McDermott both made their way to Baltimore, but one stayed a lot longer than the other. Povich emerged as a legitimate contributor in the second half of the season, while McDermott made only one appearance for the Orioles.
Povich pitched like a first-year player attempting to gain his footing at the major league level. He performed well enough to take the ball every fifth day as the Birds battled significant depth issues on the mound.
