Orioles Pitcher Dylan Bundy Just Wants To Be In The Majors

Dylan Bundy is a pitcher and 1st round pick of the Baltimore Orioles.

Dylan joined Ed and Steve live from Orioles spring training in Sarasota, FL.

Dylan started out by talking about his role this season with the team saying, "I don't really mind what I do relief or starting, any spot in the big leagues is fine by me...whatever they want me to do I'll do it." Dylan also talked about if he is concerned that his arm can hold up should he become a starter saying, "no not really, they've limited my innings for quite a long time now...I think right now they just want me to get experience on the mound and face big league hitters."

As for what has changed in his game since his first Orioles call up in 2012 Dylan said, "I'm a much smarter pitcher now then I was at that point." When asked about the importance of having a catcher he is comfortable with Dylan said, "it's huge having a guy back there that you can trust completely...whether it be Wieters or Caleb Joseph whichever catcher we have back there I have complete trust in them."

Dylan also talked about trying to fight through tough times of being injured, and whether or not studying film is a big part of his preparation for major league hitters.
