The Baltimore Orioles were a very young team on the offensive side of the ball in 2025, with the average hitter's age coming in at just 26.5 years old. While the acquisitions of Taylor Ward and Pete Alonso will add a veteran presence, they've gotten significantly younger on the mound, with greybeards like Tomoyuki Sugano and Charlie Morton being sent out, and young hot shots like Shane Baz coming in.
As a result, much of the Orioles' success will hinge on long-awaited breakouts from members of their young core. With that comes the other side of the coin — some players are sure to disappoint.
