No. 4: Hunter Harvey, RHP
2017 Statistics: 0-1, 0.96 ERA, 30 Ks, 6 BBs in 18 2/3 innings (minors)
Harvey, 23, finally appears to be healthy after battling several injuries over the past three-plus seasons. Last summer, the 2013 first-round selection (22nd overall) made eight starts across three levels – Rookie-level GCL Orioles, Short-A Aberdeen, and Low-A Delmarva. Although he hasn’t suffered any setbacks, I still believe the Orioles should take things slowly. The club should start Harvey at a lower level – he has never pitched above Delmarva – and let him progress through the system. Having said that, he could debut in the major leagues later in the year – or perhaps even in April if the Orioles throw caution aside.
