Eligibility
Mike Baumann is currently transitioning to the bullpen and is ready to embrace the new role.
Fantasy Impact
The 27-year-old was the Orioles organization's co-pitcher of the year in 2019 but is currently behind six or seven starters on the depth chart. It's unclear what kind of role he would have in the bullpen, but he likely wouldn't be in the mix for many saves. He had a 4.72 ERA and 6.03 K/9 in 34.1 innings with the Orioles in 2022.
Mike Baumann (1-3) allowed four earned runs on nine hits over 5 1/3 innings Wednesday versus the Blue Jays, resulting in a no-decision in the 5-4 victory in game 1 of the doubleheader. The right-hander struck out four and yielded one walk in the 84-pitch outing.
Fantasy Impact
Baunmann surrendered a career-high nine hits in his fourth career start. The 27-year-old finished his 2022 campaign with a 4.72 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and a 23/9 K/BB ratio across 13 games. It is up for debate what the righty's role will be like next season as he split time as a reliever and a starter in a small sample size this season.
Tuesday's game between the Blue Jays and Orioles has been postponed.
Fantasy Impact
