Brandon Bailey

When the Orioles drafted Bailey second in the 2019 Rule 5 draft, he joined his third organization since being drafted by the Athletics in 2016. Oakland dealt Bailey to the Astros in the Ramon Laureano deal and Houston never added him to their 40-man roster. Bailey is a starter by trade, but most feel his future will be out of the bullpen as his 5-foot-10, 195-pound frame and high-effort delivery are more suitable for relief. Bailey has the arsenal to start, a four-pitch mix featuring a low 90s fastball with rising action, a change, curve and slider. Control is an issue as the 25-year old righthander walked 41 in 92.2 innings for Double-A Corpus Christi last season, though he fanned 103 on route to a 3.30 ERA and 1.23 WHIP. Bailey will probably spend the season working in low-leverage scenarios but there's a chance shorter stints could add enough velocity for late inning duties.
