For players about to start the 2020 baseball season, the pressure will be cranked up extra high. The starting pitchers especially will have very little time this season to show what they’ve got. With a 60-game frenzy over the next two months and change, those who make it from start to finish are projected for somewhere around 10 starts apiece. So beginning the season strong will be more important than ever.
Turnover in the starters’ department for the Orioles has been considerable since April of last year.
Looking back on the starting rotation at the beginning of 2019, there was Andrew Cashner and Dylan Bundy, who are no longer with the team, and David Hess, who is no longer in the club’s starting plans.
