1994 Baltimore Orioles season

The 1994 Baltimore Orioles season was the 94th season in Baltimore Orioles franchise history, the 41st in Baltimore, and the 3rd at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. It involved the Orioles finishing second in the American League East with a record of 63 wins and 49 losses. The season was cut short by the infamous 1994 player's strike.

Offseason

  • December 14, 1993: Mark Eichhorn was signed as a free agent with the Baltimore Orioles.
  • January 14, 1994: Chris Sabo was signed as a free agent by the Orioles.
  • January 20, 1994: Lee Smith was signed as a free agent by the Orioles.
  • February 3, 1994: Henry Cotto was signed as a free agent by the Orioles.

Regular season

By Friday August 12, 1994, when the MLB Players' strike began, the Orioles had scored 589 runs (5.26 per game) and allowed 497 runs (4.44 per game) with a 63–49 record through 112 games. They were 2.5 games behind the Cleveland Indians (66–47) in the 1994 AL Wildcard Race.

Because they had only played in 112 games by the time the strike began, the Orioles had the fewest at-bats in the Majors, with just 3,856. The Orioles pitching staff had good control, as the Orioles had the fewest wild pitches (18) in the Majors. They also tied the Seattle Mariners for the fewest balks, with just one. Orioles baserunners successfully stole 69 bases in the strike-shortened season and were caught stealing only 13 times: the fewest in the Majors. Their pitchers also had good control, with just 18 wild pitches thrown: the fewest in the Majors.

  • August 2, 1994: Jeff Tackett hit a home run in the last at-bat of his career.
