Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is having a busy spring training in Sarasota, Florida.

To be ready for Opening Day of the regular MLB season on March 27 in Toronto, Hyde’s squad of 70 players in camp at Ed Smith Stadium must first work on fundamentals and work off any “rust” from the inactive winter months.  To accomplish that, they must take full advantage of the 31-game Grapefruit League exhibition season.
