Seth Johnson 2024

What is the status on Seth Johnson being a help on the 2024 O's being a starter or bullpen piece?

[interloper]

He'll start in AA this season so I'd say outside shot of helping in the bullpen late in the season if he's having a great year. Not very likely though.

He hasn’t pitched above A+ except for one 3-inning outing in Bowie at the end of the year.  I do not expect to see him in the majors this year, though it’s his second season on the 40-man roster so it’s possible he could be called up to relieve in a pinch.   I’d expect him to start the year in AA and move to AAA midway through the year if his performance warrants it.

It depends on if he's packaged in a trade for a starting pitcher. Otherwise, I agree with @interloper.

I think he’d have to pitch really well alongside a significant need in Baltimore  for it to happen. Not impossible, but I doubt it. Maybe a late season call up?

Seth Johnson’s 2024 debut didn’t go particularly well: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 3 K’s.  60 pitches, only 32 strikes. Better luck next time.

Orioles desperately need at least one of Povich, McDermott, or Johnson to develop as a starter.

He'll be fine. Guy has barely pitched professionally.

Which isn’t a great place to be when you’re on your second option.

Admittedly, no! That's a good point that I forgot about. He's definitely on the clock to figure it out quick.

I saw Johnson pitched 4 scoreless innings fur Bowie tonight.   4 hits, 2 walks,  3 strikeouts.   He has a 3.00 ERA on the season.

- Was picked two spots ahead of Gunnar in the 2019 draft. 

- Went to Campbell just like Mullins. Mullins was class of 15’. Johnson was class of 19’.

This should be merged into the thread in the minor league forum.

Going to see the Baysox play in Richmond today and it looks like Seth will be pitching.  Looking forward to seeing how he looks.

[interloper]

I think 2 or 3 more decent showings, even if he's not dominating, and they will think about bumping him up to AAA. Simply because the clock is ticking and they need to find out if he can help at all this year.
