Although it may be too soon to tell, the Orioles may have a top starter in 27-year-old John Means.

Means was drafted in the 46th round of the 2011 MLB draft by the Atlanta Braves, but was recommended to attend college. The former West Virginia Mountaineer was drafted by the Orioles in the 11th round of the 2014 MLB draft, making his big-league debut in September 2018.
