Yusniel Diaz already flashing plus offensive tools for Orioles
Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY SportsSpring has sprung.
Long did I miss the days where I can roll out of bed, tighten my sweatpants, and strap in for three-plus hours of Orioles baseball. It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.
Unsurprisingly, the initial Orioles lineup of 2019 was as interesting as it was rejuvenating. Cedric Mullins, a potential 3 1⁄2-tool player that has produced at every level of professional baseball, batted leadoff and reached base in all three of his plate appearances. Chance Sisco, a supposed offensive catcher who recorded a 59 wRC+ his rookie season, slugged a mammoth three-run home run with a confident swing unlike any the year before.
