- Rennie spent 4 seasons in the Orioles system from 2012 to 2015, reaching HiA Frederick in 2013. The Birds released him out-right in June 2015 after making two appearances at short-season Aberdeen. Since then he’s been languishing in the Indy league with the Evansville Otters from the Frontier League. The 2012 16th round pick is back in the minors with a new team and possibly a fresh start is all that was needed. The 6’2″ 200 lb righty touched double-digit K’s for the first time in his 243 pro innings with 14 strikeouts last night.
