Part 3/6:
With a rotation that previously struggled to find stability, adding Sagano strengthens the Orioles' options. He is now the third player from Japan to don the Orioles uniform, following in the footsteps of his predecessors like Fujinami, whose tenure was less successful.
The Orioles' pitching strategy is increasingly vital as they look to improve their standings. As Sagano excels against both right-handed and left-handed hitters, his versatility makes him a valuable asset as the team progresses through free agency and contemplates future signings, potentially eyeing players like Shawn Manaea or Jack Flaherty.
