Jared Jones will give up some homers because he pounds the zone with fastballs, but fixating on that is missing the forest for the trees.

I weirdly love rebuilds in sports. The Orioles' front office has executed theirs as perfectly as they possibly could.
It's time for the owner to sign off on signing their core long-term, and to start adding to it in free agency.

"Nolan Gorman made an adjustment to counter high fastballs this offseason. He's having an awesome spring and nobody is talking about it. He's 2B eligible and in leagues with waivers it makes sense to roster him initially and just drop if it doesn't work out."

Jarred Kelenic's Triple-A team (Tacoma) is based in Washington, same as Seattle
Tacoma is home right now and has an off day on Wednesday, then a road trip
The Mariners, currently on the road, return home on Thursday
I bet Kelenic never leaves Washington and we see him Thursday

Wyatt Langford currently has a .595 OPS.
In 2022 Bobby Witt Jr. was at .558 in March/April.
Julio Rodriguez was at .544 in the season's opening month that same year.
The real key (and test) for Langford is what he does in May and beyond.
