With the Orioles set to utilize two sites in Sarasota, Florida, for their spring training workouts between the Ed Smith Stadium complex and Twin Lakes Park across town, the first workout for pitchers and catchers Wednesday will have a unique look.
It will also feature many new faces, with only 17 of the 37 pitchers expected at camp (once the pending signing of Matt Harvey is completed) having pitched for the Orioles in the pandemic-shortened 60-game season.
Such turnover isn’t necessarily unusual. Last year, the Orioles opened camp with only 17 of their 35 pitchers having pitched for them in 2019.
