Mickey Jannis Called Up To Orioles Tuesday
4 years agoThe Baltimore Orioles called up pitcher Mickey Jannis from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. It will be the 33-year-old knuckeballer's first big-league experience in his career. Known mostly for a slow-motion video of his knuckleball from this spring training, Jannis has pitched well this season with Norfolk, compiling a 2.92 ERA through 24 2/3 innings pitched. It is unclear what Jannis' role will be with for the O's and his knuckleball pitch arsenal limits his strikeouts, so his fantasy value is currently limited. Pitcher Mac Sceroler was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
