Career Highlights
- Lost 1-0 in his major league debut, giving up only a home run to Frank Thomas, as Charlie Hough threw a shutout.
My commentary
Maddux Lite. He can throw four pitches for strikes. Always among the league leaders in strike percentage and opponents on-base percentage. Probably the second best right hander ever to pitch for the Orioles, after Jim Palmer himself. One of those people who should be a lifetime Oriole.
