Here are seven pitching prospects to watch this season for potential promotions. None of these players have made their MLB debuts, nor are they on the Orioles’ 40-man roster. It’s unlikely that any of these players appear in a game for Baltimore this season, but given the Orioles’ pitching injuries and struggles, nothing can be ruled out:

Maverick Handley is officially a big-leaguer after spending parts of six seasons in the minor leagues. He'll wear No. 98, something that has never been done in team history.

The Baltimore Orioles haven’t done enough under general manager Mike Elias to fix their starting pitching. The team could not re-sign Corbin Burnes in the offseason, who inked a new deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
