After a flurry of IL moves this morning, Jhony Brito finds himself back on the active roster a week after a sterling MLB debut, getting the ball for his second career start against a young, talented Orioles lineup. Brito went five innings last Sunday against the Giants, striking out six against a single walk, surrendering no runs. His changeup in particular shone, engineering 11 whiffs and a 33 percent putaway rate.
The Orioles, dating back to the start of last season, have just a .261 wOBA against changeups, or about as good as Myles Straw on the whole, the second-worst hitter in the game last year.
