Makes spring debut

February 26, 2025
Sugano gave up two hits and a walk over two scoreless innings during his Grapefruit League debut against the Pirates on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The Orioles anticipated Sugano throwing 35-to-40 pitches during his first spring outing, but the 35-year-old righty was able to get through his scheduled two innings on just 28 pitches -- 17 of which were strikes. He said after the game that he was primarily focused on getting used to pitching in a new environment and communicating with his catcher, and he'll look to work more on pitch sequencing during his next start, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com. Sugano is expected to open the season in Baltimore's starting rotation after turning in a 1.67 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 156.2 innings with the Yomiuri Giants of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball in 2024.
