“Dean Kremer listed as AAA Norfolk starter tonight. Was 9-4 with a 2.98 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 15 starts at AA Bowie #orioles”

[SportsGuy]

He gave up 6 runs in 4.1 IP.

But he struck out 6 and only walked 1.

He didn’t give up any homers but he did give up 3 doubles.

Great first start.  I wasn't paying attention to him making start #1 today.  Would have liked to see it.  I guess no worries, he'll get another one.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Great first start. I liked his poise.

Going to be on MLB Network at 10:50am.

Not real exciting interview, he is a rookie on the mic after all too. Did talk about the process leading to his debut. He got the call at 10:30 the night before. Couldn’t sleep. Only slept about 4 hours. Couldn’t hold down food the next day. So he pitched on little sleep and an empty stomach. Said not having fans in the stands put him at ease, felt like any other day on the mound once he was out there.

He didn’t talk too much about it but he’s got dual citizenship between here and Israel, making him the first Israeli citizen to debut in MLB.

Pretty cool story.  I am surprised the Orioles did not call him until 10:30 PM.  No wonder the kid could not sleep.  He did well, which may tell us something about his competitiveness.

I wonder if since Bowie is 30 minutes away if that had something to do with it. Figure in a regular season if he was coming from Norfolk he would need much more notice for an upcoming day game.

Yea maybe, he said it was a surprise.  I would be surprised if he got any sleep.  He has been waiting for that call since Little League.  I am really anxious to see his next start.

Keith Law:

 

Right-hander Dean Kremer, Baltimore’s No. 9 prospect coming into the year, made his major-league debut against the Yankees on Sunday afternoon. Kremer came over from the Dodgers in the Manny Machado trade in 2018, and the former 14th-round pick became the first Israeli citizen to appear in the major leagues (he was born in the United States to Israeli parents). He pitched very effectively throughout the minors until last year when he reached Triple A, where the different baseball didn’t seem to agree with him. He had no issues at all on Sunday, throwing three pitches for strikes and working more online to the plate than he was when I saw him last year. Kremer was 92-95 mph against the Yanks, getting 11 called strikes on his fastball (four of which were third strikes), and threw a sharp slider/cutter at 85-89 mph that he used in lieu of a changeup against lefties, along with a traditional 12/6-ish curveball at 74-79 mph. My main concern about Kremer as a starter was that he cut himself off in his delivery, which can be a harbinger of arm problems and makes it hard to pitch to your glove side, combined with his lack of a changeup to get lefties out. He was more online to the plate on Sunday, and seemed comfortable pitching to both sides, although I think he’ll need either to use that cutter more to lefties, where he did locate middle-in, or develop a change or splitter to avoid a platoon problem. This was a very promising debut, however, and he looks like a more likely starter than he did a year ago.
