Three Orioles rookie starters showed swing-and-miss stuff this season

When baseball got shut down in April over the pandemic, a lot of Orioles fans feared 2020 would be a lost season. So considering that actual baseball was played for 60 games, things could have been worse. And, considering that Orioles GM Mike Elias had made a point to insist on slow and gradual prospect development, the fact that several top Orioles prospects made their major-league debuts was a bright spot. And that some of these debuts went well . . . even better! You might have heard: Ryan Mountcastle can hit, and his defense looks fine.
