Baltimore Orioles Manager Buck Showalter named his pitchers for the upcoming intrasquad game and for the Spring Training games as well. Showalter named Kevin Gausman to start in the second game of the Grapefruit league schedule (Baltimore Orioles)

Fantasy Impact:

A former first round pick out of LSU, Gausman had a strong 2014 and looks to build on that in 2015. Many see Gausman as an X-factor for the Orioles, but he needs to work on his command before becoming a front line pitcher. Although he had 3.57 ERA in 20 starts last year, he walked 3 batters per nine innings and saw his K/9 drop from 9 over the rest of his professional career to 7 in 2014. Gausman will have every opportunity to work on his command and if he can, he could be a very valuable pitcher in 2015.
