Baltimore’s players are competing for places on the opening day roster, and the second week of spring training games was full of standout performers.

Adley Rutschman has watched four of them, and he thought the mixture of absurdity and sincerity made this “probably the best one I’ve seen.”

“I mean, nobody wants to go out there and get hit around, but at the same time, I was able to get feedback on how the ball was coming out of my hand,” Kimbrel said.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde did his best to take some of the pressure away from Jackson Holliday. The 20-year-old responded with three hits in a 3-2 win over Philadelphia.

Tee times will be available from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. both days.

“For me, it’s really important, because it gives me a way of being on the field constantly. I think that’s great,” Jorge Mateo said through team interpreter Brandon Quinones.

Now that Henderson is healthy after dealing with an oblique aggravation for the first two weeks of the spring, his mind has shifted to re-earning his place among baseball’s best players.

Early in the spring, Stowers has feasted by hitting three home runs off left-handers in one week.

At Triple-A Norfolk last year, Norby hit .290 with an .842 on-base-plus-slugging percentage.

Holliday’s breakthrough — however minor — is encouraging for his bid to make the opening day roster. His opposite-field single and pull-side triple showed the bat control at his disposal.

Wong spent most of his career with the St. Louis Cardinals, even overlapping with seven-time All-Star Matt Holliday. Now, he could be competing for an infield job in Baltimore against Holliday’s son, Jackson.

Before a shoulder injury in 2021, Teherán was a two-time All-Star during nine seasons with Atlanta, from 2011 to 2019.

While some players have their roster spots locked up, prospects to journeymen are pushing for the chance to make the Orioles’ opening day roster. Here are eight players who have stood out.

“The game is better when teams are putting the best players on the field,” Clark said.

The message helped Westburg understand the largest adjustment he needed to make in order to have a successful career doing what he loves: loosen his grip.

For Johnson, a right-hander who reached Double-A Bowie last season, this Monday matchup was his first opportunity to see whether his big arm could translate to the highest level.

An extra bit of velocity can only help Irvin’s chances to win — and maintain — a place in the rotation come opening day.

Under the bright Florida sun, more was revealed where the jersey tucked into the pants. There was a clear orange hue.

The right-handed reliever was claimed off waivers three times this winter. Then this week, the Orioles traded cash to acquire Ort from the Phillies. It has “been a rollercoaster,” Ort admitted.

Wells adopted a different winter approach than the year before, spending less time on managing his weight and homing in on getting stronger.
