Left-handed bench bat

Terrin Vavra, Kyle Stowers, Lewin Díaz, Franchy Cordero, Nomar Mazara, Ryan O’Hearn and Josh Lester

The Orioles’ primary infield and outfield are set, but there’s a spot available, ideally for a left-handed hitter, in each group.

This largely doubles as the backup first baseman competition. Díaz, Cordero, O’Hearn and Lester are all in camp as nonroster invitees, signing a minor-league agreement or being designated for assignment elsewhere this offseason, and are among the candidates to complement — not platoon with — starter Ryan Mountcastle.

Curtis Terry, whose three-run homer Saturday was the Orioles’ first of the spring, is also in this mix, though he bats righthanded.

Ideally, the need at first will be sporadic, so the Orioles will prioritize offense and versatility. That’s good news for Vavra, a second baseman who did pregame work at first base last season and focused on the position this winter.

In his rookie season, he displayed a strong approach at the plate, making up for a lack of power, and also spent time in the outfield, showing the potential to be a valuable utility player. He hit a ground-rule double and homered to center field Saturday, hinting at improved pop.

Mazara, Cordero and O’Hearn will compete with Stowers, Baltimore’s No. 9 prospect, to be a left-handed bat getting work in the corner outfield. If catchers Adley Rutschman and James McCann or outfielder Anthony Santander end up being regarded as the backup first baseman, that could create a path for both Mazara and Stowers, solely outfielders, to make the roster.
