Joseph Dzierwa Earned 2026 Honors
Dzierwa won the Jim Palmer Orioles Minor League Pitcher of the Year award after making 18 appearances with the Chesapeake Baysox in 2026. He went 4-1 with a 2.29 ERA in 90 and one-third innings, striking out 99 batters and walking 20 while holding opposing hitters to a .197 average.
Dzierwa also earned Second Team MiLB All-Prospect Team of the Season honors and was selected as an Eastern League All-Star. He represented the Baltimore Orioles’ organization in the MLB All-Star Futures Game on July 12, 2026, and posted the best league ERA among pitchers with at least 90 league innings.
After beginning the season with High-A Frederick, Dzierwa made his Double-A debut May 22 at Prince George’s Stadium against the Somerset Patriots. He struck out 10 batters over five and one-third innings.
Bobblehead Available With Eligible Ticket Plans
Dzierwa allowed one earned run in four starts from July 31 through Aug. 19, including a stretch of 22 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run. The six-foot-eight pitcher was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the second round of the 2025 MLB Draft and ranked as the organization’s No. 3 prospect and the No. 69 prospect in baseball by MLB Pipeline, according to the announcement.
“Joseph Dzierwa gave our fans so many memorable moments during his first season with the Baysox, and we’re excited to celebrate those accomplishments with this collectible,” said Brian Schallcross, General Manager of the Chesapeake Baysox. “Our ticket plan holders are a vital part of the Baysox community, and this bobblehead is another way to thank them for their support as we look ahead to a great 2027 season.”
