Michael Forret isn’t just a pitching prospect. He’s also a potentially fascinating science experiment. You’ve heard of Rays Pitching Magic, right? The Tampa Bay organization, currently battling for the American League pennant, has a reputation for sprinkling metaphorical pixie dust…
Paul Folkemer reviews Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Michael Forret, who returned to the organization after spending nearly eight months with the Tampa Bay Rays. Baltimore originally traded Forret to Tampa Bay in December as part of a package for Shane Baz, but reacquired the 22-year-old right-hander in an August 3 trade for reliever Tyler Wells.
During his time with the Rays, Forret added a cutter to his pitch mix and logged a 2.15 ERA in Double-A before reaching Triple-A Durham. Following his trade back to Baltimore, Forret endured a challenging five-start stint at Triple-A Norfolk with a 6.35 ERA, but he remains one of the club's top pitching prospects heading into 2027.
