Orioles Release Ty Blach

By Steve Adams | August 10, 2020 at 10:42am CDT

The Orioles announced this morning that they have released left-hander Ty Blach. He underwent Tommy John surgery last month. Blach wasn’t on the team’s 40-man roster but had been in their 60-man player pool, which dropped to a total of 59 players with his release.

Blach, 29, struggled in 20 2/3 frames with the Orioles in 2019 after being claimed off waivers out of the Giants organization. Between those two clubs, he was tagged for 36 runs on 46 hits and 17 walks with 20 strikeouts in 27 innings of work.

While that was a season Blach would surely like to forget, his prior work in San Francisco was solid. From 2016-18, Blach logged 299 1/3 innings with a 4.36 ERA, 4.14 FIP, 4.8 K/9, 2.7 BB/9 and a 50.1 percent ground-ball rate. The lack of strikeouts is obviously glaring, but Blach generally avoided too much hard contact on his sinker, which helped him to limit the damage.

      They will still have to pay him for the remainder of the season…probably should have held him though and just non-tendered him afterwards

      Clears a 60 man spot. Probably hope to bring him back on new minor league deal to finish his rehab.

      What?! Lol. Is that because they’re both LH?! That’s the only comparison I see.

      Can be a totally lesser player and still be reminiscent of another player.

    no team that needs depth will sign him, as he just had Tommy John…

        You obviously have a mental Blach when it comes to soft tossers.

    I remember the first time Ty pitched against us years ago. He was lights out good that day. I felt at that time that this young man was a keeper. I wish him the best from here on out.

      We all recall that day Ty excelled against Tomas and family at the summer picnic. He dropped a wicked 12 to 6 change on grandmama.

          It’s the visual, Tomas- I instantly pictured an older lady in a dress watching a curve just drop and saying, “Oh dear.” Lol.

          You’re about the 4th or 5th person though that I’ve heard say they’re near the mountains. We’re well represented.

        The term is “12-6 CURVE.” Nobody who knows baseball says, “12-6 changeup.”
