The Baltimore Orioles entered the 2025 MLB season with optimism, ranked No. 9 in preseason power rankings. Unfortunately, their reality became grim, with a dismal 30-41 record, leading to the dismissal of manager Brandon Hyde and the appointment of interim manager Tony Mansolino. Recent reports indicate the team struggles, holding the fourth-worst run differential and a mediocre lineup. However, promising performances from Jackson Holliday, hitting .255 with eight home runs, and Cedric Mullins, leading the team with 12 homers, provide fans with a glimmer of hope.

Despite their current position, the Orioles’ bullpen has shown potential, boasting a 1.76 ERA over the last 23 games, indicating improvement. Mansolino’s leadership has sparked a brief turnaround, with the team winning 12 of their last 17 games. If they can maintain this momentum, they may enter the discussion for an American League wild-card spot.
