The Baltimore Orioles came into 2025 with no shortage of storylines, from young stars trying to prove themselves to veterans brought in to balance the lineup. But perhaps the most surprising and gratifying development has been the resurgence of Trevor Rogers. Once viewed as an afterthought in Baltimore’s rotation, the left-hander has forced himself into the national spotlight. Putting together a strong season and pitching like someone intent on rewriting his career trajectory and cementing himself as a bona fide ace in one of baseball’s most competitive divisions.
For Orioles fans, the transformation is striking. Rogers, who flashed brilliance as a rookie in 2021 with the Miami Marlins, has often been derailed by injuries, inconsistency, and the heavy expectations that followed his early success.
