Orioles minor league recap 9/1: John Means tosses five scoreless innings

John Means shined in his latest rehab outing and may not need his Norfolk uniform again this season. Means limited Worcester to only one hit in five innings. The lefty struck out six, walked two, and did not allow a run. Means threw 53 of 86 pitches for strikes, and his fastball lived in the low 90s.

The Orioles have not announced whether Means will slot into the rotation or work in relief, but few relievers exceed 85 pitches. Means looks ready, and the Orioles have several pitchers capable of providing bulk relief behind the lefty.

Another great rehab start for John Means!
