One of the most intriguing questions of spring training will likely involve Baltimore Orioles rookie catcher Chance Sisco. Did Sisco show the Orioles enough in 10 late-season games in 2017 to secure a roster spot for this year?
Sisco, the Orioles' second-round draft pick in 2013, has had an exemplary minor league career, at least offensively. He's hit .311 with a .390 on-base percentage. Last season, Sisco, who'll turn 23 in February, hit .267 with a .340 OBP for Triple-A Norfolk.
The Orioles haven't been concerned about Sisco's offense, and they insist his defense has improved markedly. While he threw out just 23 percent of runners trying to steal on him at Norfolk (21 of 93), they say he got better in the season's final weeks.
