Chayce McDermott

26-Year-Old PitcherSP
Baltimore Orioles AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Acquired from the Astros at the 2022 trade deadline, McDermott made his major-league debut in 2024 with a spot start for the Orioles shortly after the All-Star break. Most of his season was spent at Triple-A Norfolk, where he held a 3.78 ERA with 144 strikeouts but also 60 walks over an even 100 innings. McDermott has fanned batters at a robust 33.7 clip during his time in the minors, but that's been undermined somewhat by a 13.8 percent walk rate. The 26-year-old also missed much of the second half last season with a shoulder problem, although he finished the year healthy. McDermott has the stuff to be at least a mid-rotation starter but will need to throw more strikes before the Orioles can trust him with a rotation spot. Read Past Outlooks

Returns from injury at Triple-A
PBaltimore Orioles  AAA
September 18, 2024
Triple-A Norfolk reinstated McDermott (shoulder) from its 7-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader with Nashville, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
McDermott will be getting his first game action since he was shut down in late July with a right scapula stress reaction. The 26-year-old is unlikely to be a factor with the Orioles before the end of the season, but finishing the campaign healthy would give the right-hander and the team some peace of mind heading into the offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
MLB debut on tap?
PBaltimore Orioles  AAA
July 23, 2024
Manager Brandon Hyde wouldn't comment on Baltimore's starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, but McDermott is on the taxi squad and appears set to get the nod, reports Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com.
ANALYSIS
Perhaps Hyde will officially announce the starter following Tuesday's contest, but for now he's showing some gamesmanship. McDermott is one of the Orioles' top prospects and has a 3.96 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 129:54 K:BB across 91 innings with Triple-A Norfolk this year. The swing-and-miss stuff is certainly there, but he'll likely need to improve upon a 5.3 BB/9 in order to succeed in the majors.
