Bold opening: Dean Kremer’s spring debut was a rough snapshot of the season’s pressure cooker. Kremer (0-1) took the loss in Baltimore’s 8-2 Grapefruit League setback against the Pirates, surrendering two runs on three walks over two innings while striking out one.
After a spotless first inning, Kremer ran into trouble in the second, loading the bases with nobody out and yielding two runs. At 30 years old, the right-hander remains in the mix for Baltimore’s No. 5 starter job, but he faces solid competition this spring from Tyler Wells, Cade Povich, and Brandon Young. Notably, Kremer is poised to leave Orioles camp soon to represent Team Israel in the World Baseball Classic, a move that will temporarily pause his spring campaign, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com.
