Part 2/6:
The signing of Sagano is likened to the acquisition of Albert Pujols last season, considering his advanced age but elite pitching capabilities. Orioles' management appears to be targeting experienced players who can contribute significantly, especially to a pitching staff that has struggled in recent years.
The hope is that Sagano will not only serve as a middle rotation starter but can also provide valuable innings as a reliable option in the bullpen. His diverse pitching arsenal includes a cutter clocked at 87 mph and a sinker at 91 mph, which are vital tools to keep batters guessing.
