Brandon Young Impressing at Triple-A Norfolk
3 months agoBaltimore Orioles pitching prospect Brandon Young has continued a solid 2024 campaign following a promotion to Triple-A Norfolk. At Norfolk, Young is 4-3 in 14 starts with a 3.41 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. The right-hander has recorded 80 strikeouts in 68 2/3 innings. At 26 years old, Young is making a strong case to earn his major-league debut in Baltimore. The Orioles' No. 20 prospect features a four-pitch mix led by a 55-grade curveball. In 54 career minor league starts, Young is 9-13 with a 3.63 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 280 strikeouts in 228 1/3 innings. He could get a shot at a debut when rosters expand in September. If not, he should compete for a roster spot out of spring training next season.
