The Orioles need another reliever to step up into a high-leverage role. Could that be DL Hall? It’s been an up-and-down 2023 season for the Orioles’ top pitching prospect. He had a slow start to spring training after recovering from a back injury. It prevented him from having a typical offseason in the weight room, causing his velocity to dip as he began the year with Triple-A Norfolk building up as a starting pitcher. The club then sent him down to its facility in Sarasota, Florida, for about six weeks to focus on strength training over throwing in hopes of building up his velocity.
