CLEAR AND SHOCKING NEWS :Baltimore Orioles key players is now fighting forhis life in the hospital

When history recalls the surprising 101-win Orioles, Keegan Akin and Austin Voth will not be at the top of the list of fondly remembered players. In fact, if next spring you encounter a Sporcle quiz that challenges you to name every member of the 2023 team, chances are you’ll forget these two even though the season is less than a year old.
But Akin and Voth were both there, and they actually had eerily similar seasons. They camped with the team and were on the opening day roster as relief pitchers. Voth appeared in 25 games; Akin 24. Both are not very good. Both were injured mid-season and were on the IL for 60 days. And as far as I’m concerned, neither of them will be on the team in 2024.

Voth actually entered 2023 with some expectations. He was surprisingly good in 2022, pitching to a 3.04 ERA / 126 ERA+ in a partial season with 17 starts. These excellent numbers didn’t jive with the rest of his career, so it seemed likely that he’d see regression in 2023 despite changes he had made in his pitching. And boy did he regress.
ZiPS projected that Voth would pitch to a 4.62 ERA across 14 starts. In his pre-season post on Voth, my colleague John Beers laid out the best and worst-case scenarios for Voth’s season and Camden Chat readers were optimistic. 72% of voters in the story poll predicted Voth would exceed his predictions. These voters are wrong. Voth finished the season with a 5.19 ERA and no strikeouts.
After the rotation in 2022, when Voth was sent to the bullpen, I assumed he would serve as a loose reliever, but from the start he was more of a bullpen guy more than ‘just one round. His season got off to a funny start as he gave up home runs in his first five appearances. That wouldn’t bring much goodwill!
