The Orioles are looking forward to the return of Minor League Baseball, which started countrywide Tuesday night for the first time since the pandemic.
There are numerous reasons for this. One of those reasons is the presence of the big left-hander who will pitch every fifth day at Double-A Bowie in the near future.
After more than two years away from the field, No. 4 prospect DL Hall made his season debut at Double-A Bowie on Tuesday.
Roansy Contreras, the Pirates’ No. 20 prospect, had a tough time keeping up with DL Hall in the first inning of the Baysox’s 2-1 win against Altoona.
DL Hall was drafted by the Orioles in the first round (No. 21 overall) of the 2017 MLB Draft out of Georgia’s high school ranks, and he threw a scoreless inning in the 2019 Futures Game.
There are claims that his fastball is nearing triple digits currently, with a strong changeup and two unique breaking balls.
DL Hall had struggled with command in the past (5.1 walks per nine innings during his career), but that wasn’t the case on Tuesday as he just walked two of the 15 batters he faced.
