Scouting Report: Brandon Young
Baltimore Orioles | SP
Overall
Summary
Brandon Young is a 6'6", 230-lb right-handed starting pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. Recent performance shows mixed results with a 4.25-4.35 ERA and 1.45-1.482 WHIP through six starts with a 3-1 record. Young has delivered quality starts against the Yankees (5.1 IP, 2 ER, 5 K) and Marlins (6 IP, 3 ER, 5 K), but has struggled with command issues (multiple 3-walk outings) and inconsistency. He allowed 10 runs in 4 frames against Houston but has shown resilience in bounce-back performances. Young is currently filling a critical role for an injury-depleted Orioles rotation with Trevor Rogers, Dean Kremer, Cade Povich, and closer Ryan Helsley all on the IL.
