Zach Britton Start Pushed Back
Since the Orioles are trying to limit the innings of Britton since he was projected to go 200 innings this season. You never want a rookie pitcher going that many innings in his first full season.
Many Baseball Insiders have labeled him the ace in the Orioles rotation going into the future. On the season he is 6 and 4 with a 3.18 ERA in 82 innings. He along with Michael Pineda and Jeremy Hellickson are the favorites to compete for the Rookie Of The Year Award.
His sinker might remind you of a Derek Lowe, but he throws it around 92-94. His command has been a little shaky so far walking 29 batters. With all of the question marks in the Orioles rotation it’s nice to have some kind of consistency in Britton.
