Scouting Report: Lou Trivino
Overall
Summary
34-year-old veteran reliever Lou Trivino signed with the Baltimore Orioles on May 4, 2026, but was designated for assignment just six days later after a disastrous MLB debut. In his first outing against the Yankees, Trivino allowed 6 earned runs on 6 hits and 3 walks in just 3 innings, recording only 2 outs. He rebounded with a solid 2.1 scoreless innings against Oakland with 3 strikeouts, but the Orioles opted to move on. Trivino cleared waivers unclaimed and elected free agency on May 12. Prior to his Baltimore stint, he pitched in Triple-A for Philadelphia, posting a 36% strikeout rate with a 4.00 ERA over 56 batters faced. His fastballs (94-96 mph) and secondary pitches (cutter, slider, changeup) showed decent stuff, but his inability to command his pitches and recent performance has significantly diminished his market value.
Strengths
- Strong strikeout rate in Triple-A (36% K rate)
- Solid rebound outing vs Oakland (2.1 IP, 3 K, 0 R)
