Baseball Reference Page

Acquired in February from the New York Mets, the Dominican Republic native pitched to mixed results in a starting role for the Orioles at the end of the year. Overall, Ynoa went 1-3 with a 4.50 ERA and averaged five innings over that four-start stretch. His best performance came September 21 in the Orioles’ 3-1 win over the Rays. Ynoa held Tampa Bay to one run and five hits in eight innings. However, he suffered the loss in his other three September starts. Ynoa picked up the win in his Orioles debut against the Chicago White Sox on May 5. He threw six shutout innings out of the bullpen after Miley was forced to leave the game in the first inning. Like Castro, Ynoa will get a long look for a rotation spot in spring training. But his 5.25 ERA in 21 starts at Triple-A last season isn’t particularly attractive for a club that needs to overhaul its starting rotation.
