In a bigger role than was planned, Caleb Joseph outperformed expectations in 2015

The O's put their faith in Joseph to start 93 games behind the dish this year, and he rewarded them with a solid season.

After playing six minor league seasons and even considering retirement, Caleb Joseph finally got his shot with the O's in 2014. With Matt Wieters out for the season Joseph became an important part of the best Orioles team in decades, starting the majority of games down the stretch and into the postseason. But after an offensive explosion in August during which he homered in five straight games, he became a black hole in the lineup by the end of the season.
