You know, 2020 has been a crappy year. #analysis
And from a baseball standpoint, 2020 was an especially crappy year for minor leaguers, who saw their seasons completely wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic. Those at the beginning of their professional journeys were denied the chance to improve and gain experience with competitive reps, while those near the top of the organizational ladder saw their hopes of making their major league debut abruptly halted.
Orioles left-hander Zac Lowther falls somewhere in the middle of those two groups. He still had more to learn and more to prove in the upper minors, but a strong showing at Triple-A could have earned him a promotion to the bigs before the end of the season.
