## Baltimore Orioles' Colton Cowser: Sitting down versus lefty ### What's the story? Baltimore Orioles rookie Colton Cowser is sitting down versus lefty Triston McKenzie of the Cleveland Guardians. This is the second straight game that Cowser has been out of the lineup against a left-handed starter. ### Why is this happening? Cowser is a left-handed hitter, and he has struggled against left-handed pitching in his brief Major League career.

If Cowser cannot improve against lefties, it could limit his playing time and his overall effectiveness. ### What are the Orioles' options? The Orioles could try to trade Cowser to a team that is willing to give him a chance to play every day. They could also try to move him to a different position, such as center field or second base. However, it is most likely that the Orioles will simply try to help Cowser improve against left-handed pitching. ### What does this mean for Cowser? Cowser is still a young player with a lot of potential. He has shown some good things against right-handed pitching, and he has the tools to be a successful hitter. However, he needs to improve against left-handed pitching if he wants to reach his full potential. ### Conclusion Cowser's struggles against left-handed pitching are a concern, but it is important to remember that he is still a young player with a lot of potential. The Orioles will need to be patient with him and help him develop into the player that they believe he can be.
