SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - The Baltimore Orioles opened up the 2025 MLB Spring Training game schedule at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota in front of a sellout crowd of 7,628 fans. The Baltimore Orioles may have lost the game but their Manager is impressed with the effort the Orioles showed on opening spring training game day.

Gunnar Henderson never experienced dorm life, foregoing his commitment to Auburn to sign with the Orioles as a second-round draft pick in 2019. The past few years, however, he’s gotten a taste of what it’s like living in close quarters with a group of his peers.

Because he didn’t play winter ball, Orioles pitcher Albert Suárez is in the best shape of his life.He really means it.Suárez didn’t join Caracas in Venezuela after making 32 appearances with the Orioles last season and totaling a career-high 133 2/3 innings in his return to the majors.
