This time last year, there was not a whole lot to look forward to when it came to the 2020 Orioles season. By the time the summer camp for the shortened season rolled around, this was even more true. That’s not to say there were no bright spots on the horizon, as we could all at least tell ourselves that, most likely, we would see a few prospects debut before the season was over.
Ryan Mountcastle was one of the guys who seemed certain to get a big league chance even in the shortened season. He had a good season at Triple-A in 2019 and the next challenge for him was the MLB level.
