Trevor Rogers

Trevor Rogers turned heads with a dominant start to his Orioles tenure: a 1.81 ERA, a 0.90 WHIP, and a 24.3% strikeout rate. The benchmarks are calibrated to a co-ace role — ERA at 3.50, WHIP at 1.25, and an IP pace of 130 — and he blew past the rate targets in his initial stint. The question for 2026 is sustainability over a full season. Rogers has historically been inconsistent across full years, and these targets are set at the level where he'd need to be a reliable top-of-the-rotation arm, not just a hot-streak pitcher. A 130-inning target reflects the workload he'll need to carry as a co-ace alongside Bradish.
