A Look at Orioles Pitchers’ Velocity Metrics
Cole Sulser
His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 93.3 miles per hour. The difference between his average Four Seam Fastball and Changeup in terms of velocity is 9.3. This is rather average for a MLB pitcher. His Four Seam Fastball has an above average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is helpful in the art of pitching. He features a slider that generates above-average velocity on average, which is 86.5 miles per hour.
Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
“The Orioles have released infielder Domingo Leyba, the team informed reporters (including Rich Dubroff of Baltimore Baseball). Leyba had been passed through waivers earlier this month and was on outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. He’ll now hit the open market in search of a new opportunity. Leyba picked up 96 plate appearances split between the O’s…”

“His 6.32 ERA and 10 walks in three starts at Norfolk are high, but then again, he’s only got 15.2 innings in Triple-A to judge from. Then again, with a 4.60 ERA and 1.47 WHIP for Bowie thus far, it’s not like Sedlock was exactly breaking down the door to the next level the way the O’s No. No, in fact, like his teammate Blaine Knight, another Dan Duquette draftee who’s failed to shoot up the minors ranks, Sedlock’s promotion to Triple-A Norfolk might be read less as “We believe you’re ready for the big show” and more “Up or out, buddy.” Knight, a third-round Orioles draft pick in 2018, has been more ineffective than injured in his minor league career, and a 5.04 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 11 appearances with Bowie in 2021 doesn’t exactly sound like he’s forcing the front office’s hand. The 25-year-old righty is an 18th-round draft pick from 2015 who hadn’t pitched above Aberdeen until this year—but he’s put up monster strikeout numbers in 2021 with 36 K’s in 26 IP between Bowie and Norfolk.”
“Starter Griffin McLarty allowed just one run on three hits over five innings. Jones finished 2-4, Yusniel Diaz went 2-5, and Kelvin Gutierrez added three hits in five trips. Dusten Knight allowed three runs during two innings of relief. Drew Rom started and allowed four runs (three earned) in the first three innings.”
““He’s working through some things right now,” Hyde said. Hyde said it is too early to determine whether López will make his next start. We’re not in many games, and that’s hard.” The Orioles are just the third team in the Modern Era (since 1900) to record two losing streaks of at least 14 games in the same season, following the 1911 and 1935 Boston Braves. Jorge López’s velocity dipped across the board over an erratic and ineffective two-inning start opposite Shane McClanahan, the Baltimore native who pitched five innings of one-run ball to beat the O’s for the third time this season.”
“1 overall prospect, Adley Rutschman belted his first Triple-A home run and went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI during Game 1 of a doubleheader in Charlotte. Rutschman is now 3-for-8 with a run scored and three RBIs through his first two Triple-A games. Gameday » July 31: Hitless in tight game Adley Rutschman went 0-for-4 for Double-A Bowie on Saturday, as the Baysox squeaked out a 2-1 win over Richmond. Gameday » July 29: Hitless in win Adley Rutschman probably wishes he had another day game on Thursday, as the 23-year-old catcher went 0-for-5 under the stars for Double-A Bowie.”
