It’s hard to remember a season where the starting rotation wasn’t an area of prime concern for the Orioles and, despite this team’s stunning success, 2023 hasn’t turned out to be that different. As a unit, their 4.31 ERA/4.31 FIP is exactly average—not a drag, but the starters are certainly not the reason the O’s are shocking the baseball world by leading the AL in wins right now.
The Orioles have gotten real contributions from the Kyles (Gibson and Bradish), half a brilliant season from Tyler Wells, and a really nice recent run from Dean Kremer.
