His Triple-A numbers continue to impress, and the key to his consistency may just be a quick, intense batting cage session that sets him up prior to each game. Except on Thursdays. Then, he just eats doughnuts.

The O's probably don’t distinguish between the low-cost production they can get from a homegrown prospect versus the low-cost production that comes from the second-chancers and reclamation projects they continue to prefer.

However the Orioles approach this season's trade deadline, it could provide a blueprint for how they will handle it in future seasons.

Acquired in the trade that sent Trey Mancini to Houston, McDermott is working his way toward the majors with an intriguing mix of pitches that results in a high strikeout rate (but too many walks.)

Going 17-14 and grinding out as many wins as they did sends a message: The Orioles can do this, but they probably need help.

What has been most surprising about this Orioles team? How good can it be? And what does it need to do to reach its full promise? Our reporters have a few thoughts.

A career-high nine against the Giants on Sunday gave the right-hander 70 strikeouts in 68 1/3 innings this season.

An OPS of .533 in May led to frustration for the 33rd overall pick last year, who has worked to revamp his swing. Now he's trying not to fall back on old habits as he works through the process.
