Yennier Canó sadly announce a devastating news today ” disappointment will be on Baltimore orioles
SARASOTA, Fla. — Few could have predicted that Yennier Cano, an unproven Cuban right-hander who had struggled in limited big league experience, would become one of MLB’s breakout relief pitchers of 2023. Not even the 29-year-old himself.
This past offseason provided Cano with plenty of time to reflect on his stellar rookie season. He and his wife, Arianny Despaigne, would go onto YouTube some days to relive a bunch of the most memorable moments from the Orioles’ American League East-winning campaign.
Cano enjoyed all of the highlights, but his favorite to watch was his appearance in the 2023 All-Star Game at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, where he worked a scoreless sixth inning that included strikeouts of the Braves’ Matt Olson and the Phillies’ Nick Castellanos.
“I really, in all honesty, never expected to have that good of a year,” Cano said via interpreter Brandon Quinones. “To be able to look back at all of that and see what really occurred, it was awesome.”
In the first half of 2023, Cano was nearly unhittable, recording a 1.48 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP in 37 outings. He finished the season with a 2.11 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP over a team-high 72 appearances in his first full year in the organization.
