Have the Orioles found their ace of the future?<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Baltimore Orioles’ 2025 season has been a disaster, largely due to the complete collapse of the starting rotation.<\/p>\n

Baltimore’s failure to re-sign Corbin Burnes during the offseason or find starting pitchers to make up for that loss has resulted in a 4.87 team ERA, the fourth-worst in MLB. In particular, the rotation has a 4.96 ERA (26th in the majors), which effectively doomed the team from the start and resulted in the Orioles becoming a major seller at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

However, in an otherwise dark chasm, a bright light has emerged in the rotation: left-hander Trevor Rogers, who didn’t make his season debut until May 24 after starting the year on the injured list.<\/p>\n

In his 10 starts this season, Rogers has been nothing short of magnificent. In 62.1 innings pitched, the 27-year-old southpaw boasts a robust 1.44 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and 2.57 FIP; opponents are hitting just .168 against Rogers, while drawing just 15 walks and striking out 54 times. He is one of only two pitchers to have an ERA below 1.50 since his season debut, with the Texas Rangers’ Nathan Eovaldi (1.03 ERA) being the other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
