The Orioles do not look out of place when matched up against teams like Atlanta and Tampa Bay. Baltimore belongs on the field with the best of the best, and the club intends to keep it that way.
The Orioles have blossomed into a team capable of winning in multiple forms. Mike Elias and Brandon Hyde have more talent than ever to play the matchup game, and Baltimore clearly values versatility. Players like Terrin Vavra, Adam Frazier and Ramón Urías will play a large factor in whether the Birds reach their goals this season.
Ryan McKenna does not play the infield like the aforementioned trio, but he can play all three outfield spots.
