The Baltimore Orioles overhauled their pitching rotation during the offseason with experienced veterans, but the decisions have not yielded the anticipated results. Despite signing notable pitchers like Charlie Morton and Tomoyuki Sugano, the team struggles with the worst earned run average and strikeout rate in the league. The frontline starters are underperforming, with only Sugano maintaining a respectable ERA, while others like Morton and Dean Kremer face scrutiny. Injuries to key players, including Grayson Rodriguez, add to the team's challenges, prompting management to reconsider the current rotation structure.
The Orioles' rotation has recorded the worst earned run average in the majors at 6.11, compounded by a dismal strikeout rate of 15.4%.
Manager Brandon Hyde acknowledged the struggles of veteran Charlie Morton, stating his continued place in the rotation is under evaluation, given Morton's 10.89 ERA.
