The Orioles collected another candidate for the back of the 2020 rotation competition on Sunday afternoon, announcing the signing of former #4 overall pick Kohl Stewart to an MLB contract.
Stewart was the Twins top pick in the 2013 draft, the same one where the Orioles chose Hunter Harvey. He’s appeared in 17 games at the MLB level over the past two seasons, with a mix of starting and bullpen work in the bigs. His 2019 results probably explain why he was cast away from his first team, with a 6.39 ERA over 25.
