The club has not yet confirmed the departure.<\/p>\n<p>There have been only four head athletic trainers in O\u2019s history &#8212; Eddie Weidner (1954-67), Ralph Salvon (1968-87), Richie Bancells (1988-2017) and Ebel (2018-24).<\/p>\n<p>Ebel served in various roles before replacing Bancells. In 1985, Ebel joined the Orioles\u2019 organization to serve as head athletic trainer for the Rookie-level Bluefield Orioles, holding that job for three seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Ebel had stints as the trainer for Single-A Erie (1988) and Double-A Hagerstown (1989-91), then as the club\u2019s Minor League medical coordinator (1992-96). He joined Baltimore\u2019s Major League staff as an assistant trainer in 1996.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Ebel was selected to serve as an athletic trainer for the American League at the All-Star Game at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. It was his second All-Star appearance, having previously been invited to the Midsummer Classic in 2007.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Brian Ebel, our Head Athletic Trainer, is headed to the All-Star Game! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rgsyWfRM6n\">pic.twitter.com\/rgsyWfRM6n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Baltimore Orioles (@Orioles) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Orioles\/status\/1805972852090314872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 26, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cPlayer health, player safety, is No. 1, obviously, for me,\u201d Ebel said of his job in July. \u201cJust making sure that our guys are ready to go every night is a big challenge and something that I don\u2019t take lightly and I enjoy doing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ebel and the Orioles\u2019 training staff were kept busy throughout 2024, when injuries plagued the club\u2019s big league roster.
