Charlie Morton appeared to have the “Most Disappointing Orioles Pitcher” award locked up this season before Kyle Gibson took the mound. Gibson proceeded to run away with the accolade by allowing a whopping 23 earned runs in only four short starts.
While the MDOP may not be a real award, the recipient always receives plenty of attention. Jack Flaherty emerged as a significant letdown in the second half of 2023, and Trevor Rogers immediately earned the scorn of fans after a quick demotion last season.
Gibson simply didn’t have it after signing late and missing spring training.
