Chayce McDermott Throws On Tuesday
21 seconds agoBaltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that pitching prospect Chayce McDermott (lat) threw a light side session at camp on Tuesday. McDermott, the team's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is coming along slowly in his throwing program after being originally diagnosed with a mild lat strain at spring training. The 26-year-old right-hander is fully expected to join Triple-A Norfolk to begin the 2025 season whenever he's cleared for game action. He stands at 6-foot-3, 197 pounds and was the fourth-round pick by the Houston Astros in 2021 out of Ball State University. McDermott's fastball-slider combination generates plenty of strikeouts (over 30%) in his time at Triple-A, which makes him an interesting pitching prospect to speculate on in fantasy. He should return to Baltimore at some point in 2025 after starting one game in 2024, but his lack of control of his secondary stuff will limit his upside.
