Marlins' Rogers Impresses in First Spring Training Outing

Strong Performance Against Orioles Prospects

Norby Impresses with Home Run

Not that Marlins left-hander Trevor Rogers needed any extra adrenaline in his first outing of spring training on Tuesday. But facing one of the Orioles' top prospects, Gunnar Henderson, certainly didn't hurt. Rogers struck out Henderson in the first inning, setting the tone for a dominant outing against Baltimore's young hitters.

Rogers' Dominance Continues

Rogers, who made the All-Star team in 2021, looked sharp in his five innings of work. He allowed just one hit, walked one batter, and struck out five. The Orioles managed to put just one runner in scoring position against him. "I felt really good," Rogers said after the game. "I was able to command my fastball and changeup early on, and that allowed me to get ahead in the count and put guys away."

Norby's Home Run a Bright Spot for Orioles

The Orioles' lone highlight of the game came in the fourth inning when Norby homered off Rogers. Norby, who was recently called up to the big leagues, is one of the Orioles' top prospects and showed off his power with a towering shot to left field.

Conclusion

Trevor Rogers' strong performance against the Orioles' prospects is a promising sign for the Marlins. The 25-year-old left-hander is expected to be a key part of the Marlins' rotation this season, and his outing on Tuesday showed that he is ready for the challenge. The Orioles, on the other hand, will need to continue to develop their young hitters if they want to compete in the AL East this season.
