Orioles claim left-handed Josh Walker According to announcements from both clubs, exemption from the Phillies. O has selected Southpaw to Triple-A Norfolk. They have already appeared in 40 people through a thorough outfielder Jordyn Adams A few days ago, no corresponding action was needed. Philes will designate as an assignment earlier this week.
Walker, 30, has limited experience in major leagues. In the last three seasons, he has invested a total of 27 1/3 innings. At that time, his average running average was 6.59, which was obviously not strong. His walking rate of 10.9% is also a bit high. However, his strikeout rate of 24.2% is a good number. His era seemed to have inflated his era by the average hitting average hitting and 59.4% stock rate. His 3.99 FIP and 2.70 Siera painted a more optimistic portrait.
Ultimately, this is a small sample of working, and O may invest more stocks in his minor leagues. From 2022 to now, Walker threw 125 innings on the farm with 3.96 ERA. His 12% walk rate is a bit high, but his 30.6% strikeout rate is very interesting.
For O’s, they played strings in the lost season, so they were taking action and focusing on the future. They sold on deadlines and have caught many players since then. Walker is in his final pick season. This means he can keep him in minors for the rest of the year but will no longer use 2026. He has served less than a year, so he is still away from arbitration and even from free agent institutions. If he could play a role in the bullpen in Baltimore, they could keep him in the future cheaply. It’s no surprise if they try to pass him through the saving throw at some point to make him a non-growth depth.
