THE Baltimore Orioles continue to hit a wall when it comes to the playoffs.

For the second straight season, the team reached the playoffs after rebuilding the entire organization for nearly a decade prior. The playoff run is worth mentioning, but the Orioles have yet to make the noise they’ve gotten the last two years. The team was swept in both playoff series and is back on the couch, waiting for another chance in 2025.

So, the Orioles will now focus on the offseason. They have a lot of questions to answer this winter, with a young core quickly approaching decision time on whether or not to tender an extension. They also have a few pending free agents, including your main home run leader from last season.

The team will have to turn to the free agent market to improve its roster for another World Series appearance. While they look for the right pieces, what better place to start than players who have had success in a place where half of their games will be played in 2025?

Of the 76 pending unrestricted free agents this offseason, only a handful have enjoyed consistent competitive success at Camden Yards, the Orioles’ home field.

Here are the top players looking for a new team this winter who performed best at Oriole Park, regardless of their position or team needs.

Highest OPS – Pete Alonso

Although few games in Alonso’s career were played in Baltimore, he made the most of them when he was there. Over the course of seven contests at Camden Yards, the “Polar Bear” achieved an outstanding score of 1.185 OPS. This high performance at the plate includes seven extra-base hits, including four home runs.

First base isn’t really needed for the Orioles heading into the offseason, but with the potential moves of some players this winter, Ryan Mountcastle could be one of them. If so, could an offer be sent to a powerful man like Alonso?

Best batting average – Max Kepler

Over the course of 12 games during his career at Camden Yards, Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler performed well at the plate. He holds a .349 batting average over 48 plate appearances. The Orioles could need some help on the field next season if players like Anthony Santander sign elsewhere. Kepler could be a great addition, as he already seems to hit well in the team’s home field.

Most home runs – JD Martinez

Being a veteran in this league has its advantages. After 48 games in Baltimore, JD Martinez leads all free agents (who didn’t play for the Orioles) with 18 home runs. These statistics, along with his 30 total extra-base hits, helped him accumulate a .651 hitting mark at the Baltimore Ballpark.

After a strong NLCS run for Martinez and the New York Metsthe 37-year-old will be back on the market this winter. Would a veteran presence off the bench or as a designated hitter option suit the Orioles?

The best of the rest – Juan Soto

It’s exciting when the biggest free agent on the market also performs well at your place. This is the case for the Orioles, since Soto played well in Baltimore. In his 20 games at ballpark, he hit .329/.430/.575 with five home runs and 11 RBIs.

There will most certainly be a bidding war for Soto’s services for 2025 and beyond, but the idea of ​​him playing at Camden Yards as a home team player is one that will excite any Washington fan. Orioles. The new ownership group seeks to “accelerate the effort » to qualify for the World Series. No one else this winter would move that needle faster than the best hitter on the planet.
