The plan to

BALTIMORE -- Rounding the bases Sunday afternoon, Chris Davis allowed himself to wonder whether it would be the final time. So he slowed to savor it, screamed when rounding second in what he called a mix of “joy, satisfaction” and “just fired up.” He purposely paused before crossing home plate,

BALTIMORE -- With a backdrop of red warehouse brick behind them, the Orioles spent Saturday afternoon honoring the jewels of a farm system that spent 2019 improving by leaps and bounds. From an infusion of talent through the Draft to new organizational philosophies and technological investments, change came to all

Not every player hits the ground running the minute they arrive in the Majors. Remember, Mike Trout hit .220 in his first season in the big leagues. But once he became Mike Trout, everyone knew it. He had his breakthrough season. And when you have your breakthrough season, it’s impossible

BALTIMORE -- Another night, another Austin Hays moment. The Orioles’ rookie center fielder is making a habit of stealing the spotlight, and he did so again in their 7-6 loss to the Mariners on Saturday night at Camden Yards. In his season debut on Sept. 7, it was with a

BALTIMORE -- Trey Mancini's career year wasn’t enough for him to earn an All-Star bid, but that didn’t stop him from spending the summer emerging as one of the American League’s most productive players. On Friday, Mancini's career year netted him the Orioles’ highest individual accolade. Mancini was named the

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles made a minor decision this past week. Mapping out their remainder of the season -- ensuring two more outings for each of their steadfast starters -- the club penciled in Aaron Brooks' scheduled turns in the rotation as bullpen days. It wasn’t that they planned to

It has been an incredible season for rookie talent, with first-year players across the Majors hitting the ground running after making the jump to baseball's highest level. According to MLB.com's 30 beat writers, here is every team's most valuable rookie in 2019. (Players' 2019 seasonal ages listed.)

The Arizona Fall League annually showcases many of baseball's top prospects.

BALIMORE -- For the Orioles, the 2019 season was all about building blocks, identifying the pieces that’ll factor heavily into their plans for 2020 and beyond. In that sense, they were thrilled about what developed down on the farm. Armed with new tools and development philosophies brought in by Mike

BALTIMORE -- More than seven years ago, on June 27, 2012, Angels rookie center fielder Mike Trout leaped and reached over the right-center-field wall at Camden Yards to rob Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy of a home run. The 20-year-old Trout jumped through a sun-splashed afternoon and, glove outstretched, into one

Six O's prospects are playing for the Surprise Saguaros in the 2019 Arizona Fall League: Right-hander Dean Kremer (No. 8); left-hander Alex Wells (No. 20), second baseman Rylan Bannon (No. 23), second baseman Mason McCoy (No. 24), right-hander Cody Carroll and right-hander David Lebron.

BALTIMORE -- Six times over the last four innings of Wednesday’s 11-10 loss to the Blue Jays at Camden Yards, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde dipped into his heavily reinforced bullpen clinging to a lead, looking for outs. Six times the door swung open and someone other than Hunter Harvey emerged.

BALTIMORE -- Before factoring in Wednesday’s late-inning meltdown against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards, the Orioles owned the American League’s best bullpen by ERA since August 20. The O's relief corps' mark of 3.70 ERA in September was better than the Yankees, the Astros or the Rays. Even for

WEST BALTIMORE -- When representatives from Major League Baseball and the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation toured Frederick Douglass High School last September, they found varsity baseball coach Jim Foster hitting grounders to his players on asphalt. The concrete surface was far from ideal, but such is the reality for student-athletes

BALTIMORE -- Trey Mancini began the season on a tear, setting the tone for what would be a career summer with a monster April. Now, he’s finishing just as hot. That remained true Tuesday, when Mancini was one of the few bright spots in the Orioles’ often unsound 8-5 loss

DETROIT -- Left-hander John Means cruised through most of his start Monday afternoon, at one point retiring 12 consecutive batters. It was the beginning and the end that doomed him and the Orioles during Baltimore’s 5-2 loss to the Tigers at Comerica Park. The Tigers' first two hitters made great

For nearly three decades, the Arizona Fall League has had a very simple mission: Help finish the development process by getting Minor League prospects ready for the big leagues. That process began again on Wednesday night as the 28th season of the AFL got underway with games in Glendale, Mesa

BALTIMORE -- What executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias recently dubbed “a period of change right now with the Orioles” continued on Monday, when the club announced a series of promotions, repositionings and a new addition to its organizational ranks. The latest reconstruction brought the hiring of Matt

DETROIT -- This time, Rio Ruiz’s go-ahead hit stood up. His two-out, two-run homer in the third inning broke a 2-2 tie and gave the Orioles the lead for good in an 8-2 win over the Tigers on Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park. On Saturday night, his RBI single in

Thirty years ago this month, the Orioles paraded down downtown Baltimore, not as conquering heroes, but darlings nonetheless. Sure, when the dust cleared, the 1989 Orioles were a second-place team. But few runners-up live in as unique a space in the history of their franchises as the '89 Orioles. Under
