The Orioles’ 2025 season was disappointing, as the ballclub missed the postseason after making the playoffs in 2023 and 2024. Despite a subpar 2025, Baltimore’s players enter this season with renewed optimism.
The Orioles added sluggers Pete Alonso and Taylor Ward in the offseason to complement a lineup that includes Gunnar Henderson, Adley Rutschman, Samuel Basallo, Jackson Holliday and others. Baltimore’s pitching has upside, with Trevor Rogers, Kyle Bradish and Shane Baz among the headliners.
They’ll be led by a new manager in Craig Albernaz, who comes highly acclaimed after a recent stint as an assistant in Cleveland.
