Orioles veteran starter Alex Cobb has experienced a hurried run-up to the season before. If he’s going to make good on his goal of proving he’s still a high-level pitcher, it will have to go better than it did before.

Cobb was signed by the Orioles in late March 2018 and rushed through simulated games without any real spring training before he made his debut two weeks into the season. He struggled for much of the first half of that season because of how he prepared in the 24 days between signing and pitching in a major league game.
