With the Orioles continuing to focus heavily on drafting and development, the major-league roster is ever-changing. A handful of prospects aren’t far from the majors and could make their MLB debuts in 2020. Here are the five I’m looking forward to seeing most:
Dean Kremer
There’s a lot to like about Kremer. Probably the best arm the O’s picked up from the Dodgers in the Manny Machado trade, Kremer was fantastic for Double-A Bowie after coming over in the deal in 2018. In 45.1 innings, he posted a 2.58 ERA and 3.04 FIP while striking out over 28% of the batters he faced. After an oblique injury pushed back his 2019 debut to May, he dominated in two starts for High-A Frederick before making his way back to Bowie.
