Orioles starting pitcher Dylan Bundy and outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. arrived at the end of the Grapefruit League season at opposite ends of the spring training zeitgeist.
Bundy, who gave up four runs on nine hits over 4 2/3 innings in the Orioles’ 9-7 loss to the New York Mets, was just here to refine his pitch repertoire and get to Opening Day healthy and ready to pitch six innings during the first week of the season.
Dwight Smith Jr. got here little more than two weeks ago and needed to put every tool he’s got on display to force his way onto the Opening Day roster.
