Orioles Starting Pitcher Kevin Gausman On Spring Training And The Regular Season

Kevin Gausman is a starting pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles.

Kevin joined Ed and Steve to talk about spring training which pitchers and catchers report to today.

Kevin started off by talking about his routine during spring training and what's expected of him saying "we do the same thing we've been doing come in and throw and get a workout in and make sure you're seen by the big guy...that'd be Buck." Kevin was asked about the style of managing from Buck Showalter and how prepared he is saying "I think he starts about January 1st and knows what he's doing straight from day one."

As for the Orioles being able to retain Matt Wieters, Chris Davis, and Darren O'Day and whether he was shocked by that Kevin said "to be honest I didn't expect that, I thought we might get one of those three guys...happy to have them all back they're all great guys and great teammates." As for how important re-signing O'Day was in his mind Kevin said "one of the biggest moves we could've made was bringing back Darren O'Day...he's been so good in the AL East which is the best division in baseball."

Kevin also talked about the Orioles possibly adding Yovani Gallardo, mastering his third pitch, the powdered doughnut story, and tattoos.
