Orioles 2-0 over Pirates (observations)

[ShoelesJoe]

One sidebar to yesterday's game was that for the last few innings Termarr Johnson played second base for the Pirates.  He was 0-2 at the plate, appeared to have a long swing that could be beat by hard stuff in. A lot of folks thought he was a real possibility for us with the 1-1 pick in the 2022 draft. Safe to say we made the right choice there.

Well on the ball hit to the fence, he made that looks routine but it had a .925 xBA on the hit. I think that counts as making an exciting play routine. As for the other, Bradenton is known a a very hard place to track fly balls and winds can be tricky, so I'm not too concerned on him coming in that one ball and then having to dive a bit for it.

I didn’t see them, but the radio announcers described both as very good catches in their game recap.

Thanks for the Tamarr Johnson scouting report.
