Jimmy Yacabonis is a guy that Buck Showalter is keeping an eye on. Yacabonis has five saves and a 0.00 ERA in 15.2 innings covering 12 games for AAA Norfolk in 2017.

In 2016, he became the closer for AA Bowie after Donnie Hart’s promotion and had six saves and a 2.03 ERA in 44.1 innings pitched. Yacabonis could be a late inning option before too long for the Orioles.
