Henry Urrutia

Urrutia dealt with a sports hernia that wiped out a good portion of his 2014 season, but he returned healthy in 2015 while spending the season in Triple-A and earning a cup of coffee with the Orioles. Urrutia cut his K% to 16.0% in 2015. That is a positive step, but the problem is what he does with balls in play. Urrutia had a 1.9 ground out/air out ratio, which was actually an improvement over his shocking 3.1 ratio from 2014, a season in which he had no home runs in 253 total at-bats. As you can see, the problem for Urrutia has been getting the ball in the air. He does have good power, but it never gets a chance in games since the ground has served as a magnet. Urrutia should enter the spring with a chance to make Baltimore's roster, but it is doubtful the club will see him as anything more than a fourth outfielder.
