Today's guest: Frederick LHP Joseph Dzierwa

<p>His pro career is off to a fine start for the High-A Frederick Keys.</p><p>Lefty Joseph Dzierwa is 3-1 with a 2.33 ERA for Frederick. Over 27 innings he’s allowed just 15 hits with seven walks to 29 strikeouts. Showing a low-to-mid 90s heater and plus changeup, he has an 0.81 WHIP and opponents are hitting just .160 with a .497 OPS off Dzierwa.</p><p>O’s fans likely first saw him when he had a dominant outing in the March 20 Spring Breakout game versus Boston. He threw three scoreless and fanned eight Red Sox prospects that night.</p><p>Dzierwa is the highest-drafted pitcher by the Mike Elias front office, taken in Round 2 last year, No. 58 overall.</p><p>He is rated as the O’s No. 12 prospect via MLBPipeline.com and No. 17 by Baseball America.</p><p>We had a wonderful conversation taped on Friday when he and the Keys were in Brooklyn to play the Cyclones.</p><p>In this podcast Dzierwa told us about the tall lefty big league pitcher that has already given him some pointers. He explained how this Ohio kid went to college at Michigan State and how he has worked with the O’s pitching coaches thus far. We went over that, his repertoire and more.</p><p>He is quickly making a name for himself on the O’s watch.</p><p>Take some time to get to know lefty pitching prospect Joseph Dzierwa.</p><p><strong>Yesterday in New York:</strong> Last year at this time, right-hander Trey Gibson was pitching for the High-A Aberdeen IronBirds. Right now Dzierwa is pitching in High-A ball. Could he move as fast as Gibson did and pitch at three levels this year? Well, he’s got a shot and is off to a great start this year. Enjoy today’s podcast.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://steveonbaseball.substack.com/p/trey-gibson-was-solid-in-debut-but">Here is last night’s story</a> on Gibson pitching well in his MLB debut, yet the O’s losing again in the Bronx. Game four of the series is tonight at Yankee Stadium.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Steve Melewski at <a href="https://steveonbaseball.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">steveonbaseball.substack.com/subscribe</a>

Today's guest: Frederick Keys manager Collin Woody

<p>Collin Woody, once drafted by the Orioles in Round 38 of the 2016 MLB Draft, is my guest this week on the Steve on Baseball podcast.</p><p>It’s a return trip for Woody on the podcast. We first talked late last year when he was the manager of the Low-A Delmarva Shorebirds. This season Woody, age 31, is skipper of the Frederick Keys.</p><p>He will lead his team as Frederick rejoins the O’s organization this year as High-A affiliate in the South Atlantic League.</p><p>From Tampa, Fla. and a former player at UNC-Greensboro, Woody and the Keys will play their home opener next Tuesday in Frederick.</p><p>Before 2026, Frederick’s last year as an O’s affiliate was 2020, but that season was cancelled by the pandemic. So the last time Frederick actually played as an O’s farm team was in 2019.</p><p>Next week will surely be a big deal in Frederick, a wonderful baseball community.</p><p>Collin provided some great insights for this podcast on the return of baseball to Frederick, managing at the minor league level and also on some of his key players.</p><p>We discussed several to include pitchers Joseph Dzierwa and Boston Bateman and position players Nate George and Ike Irish to name a few.</p><p>Enjoy the lastest edition of the podcast!</p><p><strong>NEW CITY CONNECTS IN BIRDLAND</strong></p><p>When the Orioles begin a new homestand tonight versus the San Francisco Giants, the club will also break out new City Connect uniforms.</p><p>The O’s say these present a uniform “depicting the beauty of Baltimore, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and everything in between, from the stoop to the yard. Charm, grit, and pride: every detail brings the spirit of Baltimore’s beloved stoops straight to the one place we all call home.”</p><p>They are showing off pride in Baltimore with a “BMORE” written across the front of the jersey.</p><p>The O’s say that “reps every neighborhood in Baltimore. The Oriole Bird is perched proudly atop BMORE, front and center. Right where it belongs.”</p><p><strong>BIRDLAND TERRITORY UPDATE</strong></p><p>We have now recorded three Birdland Territory shows as we’ve had a great first week of our new show available on You Tube, Spotify, Apple podcasts and other outlets.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@BirdlandTerritory">Click here</a> to get to our You Tube site and please subscribe if you have not already!</p><p>Birdland Territory, hosted by the trio of myself, Tim Barbalace of 105.7 FM the Fan and former O’s reliever Brad Brach, will air three times a week during the season. That’s a lot of content to produce, but we are delighted how the first few shows turned out.</p><p>The latest show features a discussion about a pretty good collective start for the bullpen, some talk of the rough news about Zach Eflin, we noted Gunnar’s decent start and chance to have a very big year and we discussed ABS challenges and how the O’s struggled to get some correct in recent games.</p><p>Thanks for checking out Birdland Territory.</p><p></p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Steve Melewski at <a href="https://steveonbaseball.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">steveonbaseball.substack.com/subscribe</a>

Today's guest: O's RHP Trey Gibson

<p>For a pitcher that was signed after the 2023 MLB Draft out of Liberty University, right-hander Trey Gibson had quite the 2025 season on the O’s farm.</p><p>He started with High-A Aberdeen, making nine appearances before he moved to Double-A Chesapeake and rolled through 10 starts with an ERA of 1.55 for the Baysox. He ended the year with seven starts for Triple-A Norfolk.</p><p>For the full year, Gibson, age 23, went 5-8 with a 4.26 ERA in 120 1/3 innings. He fanned 12.4 batters per nine innings on his way to earning the “Jim Palmer Award” as the Orioles’ Minor League Pitcher of the Year.</p><p>This spring he has made two outings for the Orioles in MLB games. That includes his three scoreless in the first exhibition game of the new season on Feb. 20 versus the Yankees. He recently added a third outing in a live BP session. </p><p>Gibson keeps expanding his repertoire, this spring adding what he called a “true cutter” and that adds to the two-seamer and “death ball” he started to throw last year. Depending how you classify the offerings he throws six or seven pitches now. </p><p>The “death ball” is kind of a gyro slider that has become a real putaway pitch for Gibson. It breaks down more than side-to-side and he used it all last year but it really improved for him as 2025 went on. </p><p>As he will explain in this podcast, he threw and played catch with a “higher volume” this winter in the offseason and came into camp ready to pitch three innings in the first game. It was a bit of a change to his usual offseason routine. </p><p>Gibson should begin this season in the Triple-A rotation and his day to make the O’s roster for the first time should be coming in 2026.</p><p>Gibson is widely considered the organization’s top pitching prospect right now. Per ESPN, he is the O’s team No. 2 prospect and No. 46 via their national top 100. Per Baseball America he is team No. 3 and No. 72 in the top 100. Per MLBPipeline.com he is rated as the O’s No. 5 prospect.</p><p>Enjoy the latest edition of the podcast and learn more about O’s top 100 pitcher Trey Gibson. </p><p><strong>Spring breakout rosters released</strong></p><p>Gibson is one of 16 pitchers and 40 players named yesterday to the Orioles’ Spring Breakout roster for their game March 20 vs. Boston.</p><p>The full roster is here —</p><p>Pitchers:</p><p>Micah Ashman LHP, Zane Barnhart LHP, Boston Bateman LHP, Braxton Bragg RHP, Luis De León LHP, Joseph Dzierwa LHP, Nestor German RHP, Trey Gibson RHP, Chandler Marsh RHP, Esteban Mejia RHP, Tyson Neighbors RHP, Anthony Nunez RHP, JT Quinn RHP, Patrick Reilly RHP, Juaron Watts-Brown RHP, Levi Wells RHP.</p><p>Catchers:</p><p>Ethan Anderson C/1B, Samuel Basallo C/1B, Yasmil Bucce C Creed Willems C/1B.</p><p>Infielders:</p><p>Wehiwa Aloy SS, Aron Estrada 2B/OF Wilfri De La Cruz SS, Cobb Hightower INF, Ike Irish 1B, Joshua Liranzo INF, Jaiden Lo Re INF, Griff O’Ferrall SS/2B, José Peña INF, Colin Yeaman SS.</p><p>Outfielders:</p><p>RJ Austin OF, Dylan Beavers OF, Enrique Bradfield Jr. OF, Vance Honeycutt OF, Nate George OF, DJ Layton OF, Stiven Martinez OF, Jordan Sanchez OF, Thomas Sosa OF, Reed Trimble OF.</p><p>The Spring Breakout 40-man player pool rosters, which will be reduced to 27-man rosters on March 16th , were announced yesterday on MLB Network, and feature 91 of the top 100 prospects according to MLB Pipeline.</p><p></p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Steve Melewski at <a href="https://steveonbaseball.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">steveonbaseball.substack.com/subscribe</a>
