PT TOMORROW: AL East — Hunting for saves in BAL

Baltimore Orioles

Mychal Givens (RHP, BAL) will reportedly begin 2020 as the Orioles’ closer, but Hunter Harvey (RHP, BAL) may soon be hot on his heels.

Baltimore made clear recently that Harvey is not a candidate for the team’s rotation, its sorry state notwithstanding. That leaves Harvey primed to assert himself in a high-leverage relief role for the Orioles.

While Harvey scuffled a bit in 11 starts for AA-Bowie last year (5.19 ERA, 1.42 WHIP), his relief work at AAA-Norfolk was better (4.32 ERA, 1.11 WHIP with a 22/5 K/BB in 16.2 IP).  

The oft-injured former top prospect still boasts a 98-plus-mph fastball, which he deployed to strike out 11 in his 6.1 MLB innings in 2019 while allowing only 1 ER.

Givens’ fastball may be a notch...

Almost!
