Austin Hays pushing for strong finish and Drew Rom talks O's pitching development
Orioles' outfielder Austin Hays is trying to make his July a real outlier this season. So far it is the only month his OPS was not .800 or better.And it is a real outlier as his OPS in July was just .446.

That is good for an OPS+ of 118, better than the 107 OPS+ he posted in 2021 and the 105 number from last...
