Trevor Rogers’ 2025 season with the Baltimore Orioles was nothing short of exceptional. Across 18 games the southpaw racked up 9 wins, a 1.81 ERA, and 103 Ks across 109.2 IP. His dominance was enough to earn him down ballot Cy Young Award votes despite not appearing in a major league game until May 24th.
At the time of his acquisition for Kyle Stowers and Connor Norby at last year’s trade deadline, fans were doubtful the 27 year-old would ever prove impactful enough to justify parting with such high-profile prospects. However, he has been better than advertised in every conceivable metric, leaving fans excited about the possibility of a Cy Young push in 2026.
