The Baltimore Orioles made a bold move in the offseason by acquiring Corbin Burnes from the Milwaukee Brewers, and it has paid off tremendously. Burnes has quickly become the ace of the Orioles’ rotation and has helped elevate the team to World Series contender status.
With a current record of 43-22, the Orioles are showing no signs of slowing down, thanks in large part to Burnes’ dominant pitching. In fact, Burnes is on pace to make major team history in several key categories, showcasing just how impressive his performance has been this season.
Some of the remarkable statistics include Burnes having the best ERA by an Orioles starting pitcher since 1972, the best WHIP since 1968, the best FIP since 2007, the best GB% since 2004, and the best LD% since 2010. These numbers highlight Burnes’ exceptional talent and impact on the team.
In the 2024 MLB season, Burnes has started 14 games for the Orioles, boasting a 7-2 record, a 2.08 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP, and 82 strikeouts. His stellar performance puts him in contention for the American League Cy Young award, solidifying his status as one of the top pitchers in the league.
At just 29 years old, Burnes has a promising future ahead of him, but his contract with the Orioles only extends through this season. Negotiating a long-term deal will be crucial for both Burnes and the team as they aim to maintain their success in the years to come.
As the Orioles continue their quest for a World Series title, Burnes’ performance will be vital to their success. Fans are eager to see if he can sustain his impressive pace and lead the team to glory. The Orioles have high hopes for this season, and Burnes is a key player in their pursuit of championship glory.
