2023 3rd Round Pick (#86): Kiefer Lord - RHP - (Jr) Washington (WA)


Recommended Posts

Got bombed in his last 4 starts with very low K's numbers. He was pitching well before that so its possible theres an injury. 6.19 ERA in 2023 definitely a projection pick to take someone with an ERA that high in the 3rd round, but he does have an athletic looking delivery and if he throws 99 as a starter...thats impressive to me.

It's time to show what we can do on the developmental side with NCAA big time arms.  We've had success fixing pitchers before.

The Orioles clearly believe in their ability to develop pitching with the right attributes despite bad stats. Good stuff, bad ERA, but seems to be a guy who needs some professional development. Either way, I'm just happy to see them start taking some upside arms early in the draft.

And they don’t appear to really be reaching for these arms either. They are getting them in the areas of the draft that make sense.

The MLB coverage says he taught himself pitch mechanics his freshman year.  Sounds like he just needs some good coaching.

    • They are a bunch of simp libtards now, you'd fit in well
    • Trade for trout while his is stock is low. Bit of a gamble, but he's a leader that needs a change of scenery. He is our RF/ DH middle of the order RH bat to replace santander  If we can keep him healthy, he might be the veteran presence we need. We have the salary space for his contract 
    • I'm rooting against the Yankees this weekend. Hasn't gotten close to that point for me. The 2016 WC game was the worst because of the Britton situation. The 2014 Royals series was awful. I don't know that this loss was even as bad as last year's vs the Rangers where it felt like we could go all the way. This was just a wild card team vs a wild card team that could go either way, and some bounces didn't go our way and young players couldn't handle the pressure. It's best-of-3, it happens.
    • I'm older than most here. The pain of being a sports fan in Baltimore in 1969 make this year's playoff sweep seem trivial. All three of our local pro teams had great regular seasons. The Colts were a sure thing to beat the upstart Jets in Super Bowl III. No way the mighty Orioles would lose to the Mets in the World Series. And I thought for sure the Bullets might beat the Knicks in the NBA semifinals. Talk about long lasting pain ...
    • Come on man, that's a crock. I've been as frustrated as anyone watching Adley's approach at the plate and his uppercut swing. But to say he's the kind of guy that makes excuses is way out of line. I have no doubt Adley will work on getting his body, swing and mind right in the off-season. 
    • I was given three free tix to see them in Durham in '23. They oversold the tix, ie. the seats were not assigned, first come / first serve,  the line to get in was ridiculously long, and we had to stand in the miserable heat and humidity of a NC summer.  Worst baseball in person experience of my life. Just goofy from the little I got to see in the three person deep standing room only crowd. We left after three innings or whatever they call it in their version of the game. Way too loud, too. Just too much BS going on. It was like the baseball version of drinking WAY too much gin and fruit punch and the wild colors give you the bed spins.
