Trevor J'Daniel Rogers (born November 13, 1997) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Miami Marlins. Rogers was selected 13th overall by the Marlins in the 2017 MLB draft, and made his MLB debut with them in 2020.

Amateur career

[edit]

Rogers attended Carlsbad High School in Carlsbad, New Mexico. As a junior, he was 9–2 with a 0.70 earned run average (ERA) and 122 strikeouts and helped lead his team to victory in the 6A state championship game.[1]

Rogers committed to Texas Tech University to play college baseball.[2] Considered one of the top prospects for the 2017 Major League Baseball draft,[3][4] the Miami Marlins selected him with the 13th overall selection.[5] Rogers signed with Miami for $3.4 million.[6]

Minor leagues

[edit]

Rogers made his professional debut in 2018 with the Greensboro Grasshoppers and spent the entire season there, pitching to a 2–7 record with a 5.82 ERA over 17 starts.[7] He began 2019 with the Jupiter Hammerheads with whom he was named a Florida State League All-Star.[8][9] He was promoted to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp in August. Over 23 starts between both clubs, Rogers went 6–10 with a 2.90 ERA, striking out 150 batters over 136+13 innings.[10]

Major leagues

[edit]

On August 25, 2020, Rogers was selected to the active roster. He started against the New York Mets, pitching four scoreless innings and allowing one hit.[11] He made seven starts in 2020, going 1–2 with a 6.11 ERA with 39 strikeouts over 28 innings.[12]

Rogers began 2021 as a member of Miami's starting rotation.[13] He was named the NL Rookie of the Month Award back-to-back for the months of April and May 2021. He opened the season with a 3-1 record and a 1.29 ERA in five starts with thirty-eight strikeouts over twenty-eight innings in April. He followed that strong performance again in May with a 3-2 record and a 2.34 ERA in six starts, striking out thirty-eight batters. He was the first Marlins player to win Rookie of the Month honors since Justin Bour in September 2015 and the first Marlins pitcher to win it since José Fernández in July 2013.[14][15] In July of that year, Rogers was named to the All-Star Game as the Marlins' sole representative.[16] He finished the 2021 record with a 2.64 ERA and 157 strikeouts over 133 innings in 25 starts, despite a 7–8 record. He finished second in NL Rookie of the Year voting behind Jonathan India.[17]

In 2022, Rogers had a down year in retrospect to his rookie campaign. In 23 starts, he registered a 4–11 record and 5.47 ERA with 106 strikeouts in 107.0 innings pitched.[18] His sophomore season ended prematurely after he was placed on the injured list with a left lat strain on September 22.[19]

Rogers began the 2023 season out of the rotation with Miami, logging a 1–2 record in 4 starts. In an April 19 start against the San Francisco Giants, Rogers was removed from the outing with an injury,[20] later revealed to be a left biceps strain.[21] He began a rehab assignment with the Single–A Jupiter Hammerheads on May 30.[22] However, after Rogers was scratched from a scheduled start on June 10, he was transferred to the 60-day injured list three days later, where he spent the remainder of the year.[23]

Rogers made 21 starts for the Marlins in 2024, compiling a 2–9 record and 4.53 ERA with 85 strikeouts across 105+13 innings pitched.[24]

Baltimore Orioles

[edit]

On July 30, 2024, the Marlins traded Rogers to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for infielder Connor Norby and outfielder Kyle Stowers.[25]

On August 22, 2024, the Orioles optioned Rogers to their AAA minor league affiliate, the Norfolk Tides.[26]
