If you look at the Orioles offensive performance last season as a whole, they were middle of the pack or worse in a lot of categories. Breaking it down by position groupings, corner infield was one of the weakest links on the team. Although the O’s got eerily similar production out of their infield corners — first base and third base — last season, it was eerily bad production.
In 2020, Orioles first basemen hit a collective .219/.272/.382 at the plate with 10 home runs, while Orioles third basemen collectively slashed .219/.284/.414 with — you guessed it — 10 home runs.
