The Orioles broke camp with a 28-man roster that included 14 pitchers and 14 position players. All seven infielders were expected to make the club, and the Birds were always going to carry two catchers
A lack of pitching depth and a shortened spring training increased the need for extra pitchers, but the Orioles still elected to carry five outfielders. Anthony Santander, Cedric Mullins and Austin Hays were all locks to make the club. Ryan McKenna broke camp as a versatile defensive player that can handle all three outfield spots, and DJ Stewart also made the team.
Stewart arrived in Baltimore in 2018 and exceeded his rookie limits the following year.
