Of this the article speaks, in a section subtitled "A Limited Role": The title of the piece is overblown, but that's the nature of trying to catch eyeballs in the mass media. In fact, the main benefit of the article for me was its analysis of O'Hearn's success--wch had previously been a complete mystery to me--as being due to his efforts to adjust launch angle and becoming very restrained in his swing decisions. If it weren't for such adjustments, including possibly other ones not discussed or understood yet, then he would not be a story at all. Before coming to the Orioles, O'Hearn's OPS's vs. RHP during his previous four seasons were .678, .577, .673, and .622 (after a 1.019 in 129 rookie PAs in 2018--10 homers, 10 doubles, 16 walks!*). So limiting his at-bats to facing RHP is clearly not the reason he's done so well with the Orioles; something else happened and it's to the Orioles' great credit that they saw the potential and to O'Hearn's that he executed it. * I do wonder if video from 2018 gave important clues, but I think that would have been mentioned. -

Someone online said it hasn't been raining there for 50 minutes. Weird.
