There's always a buzz of excitement, an air of the new and unknown, whenever a top prospect gets the call to the Majors. And if ever there was a top prospect, it's Grayson Rodriguez. The 23-year-old has reportedly been called up by the Orioles and will square off against Jacob deGrom and the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.
Orioles call up one of the top pitching prospects in MLB
Many expected Rodriguez to get called up at some point in 2022, but between the Orioles' brass deciding not to go all-in despite a surprisingly solid season, Rodriguez's lat injury and subsequent subpar Minor League showing, fantasy managers who stashed him in anticipation likely had to drop him soon after.The Orioles drafted Rodriguez 11th overall in 2018 and now, after working through five Minor League levels, he'll get his chance to make an impact in Baltimore's rotation.
As mentioned, Rodriguez will try to match wits in his debut against arguably the best pitcher per nine innings in baseball, now-Texas-Ranger, Jacob deGrom. A tall task for a rookie, but if anyone can deliver under this level of pressure, it's someone with the pedigree of Rodriguez.
