Heading into the 2020 Orioles season, one of my hopes for the team is that as the season went along, we might get to see a glimpse of a better rotation in the future. When Opening Day finally rolled along for a shortened season in July, the fact that pitching prospect Keegan Akin was not on the roster while veteran journeymen like Wade LeBlanc and Tommy Milone were in the rotation was disappointing to see.
Unlike a lot of the O’s prospects who fans might have hoped to see in 2020, Akin pitched a full season at Triple-A in 2019.
