Contract Value Index (CVI)
Dietrich Enns' one-year, $2.6M deal with the Orioles earns a strong B+ CVI, representing shrewd value acquisition for a club balancing present competitiveness with long-term sustainability. For an above-average starter transitioning to a relief role, this contract price point reflects excellent market efficiency — the Orioles are paying roughly half what similar arms command in free agency while securing immediate bullpen depth. Enns brings legitimate swing-and-miss stuff that should translate well to shorter outings, and at 31, he's entering his prime years for relievers who often peak later than starters. The modest financial commitment allows Baltimore to strengthen their bullpen without compromising their ability to extend core position players like Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson down the road. Given the Orioles' competitive window is wide open and their farm system remains stocked, this low-risk, high-reward gamble exemplifies how smart organizations fill roster holes without overpaying. If Enns delivers even replacement-level production, the deal pays for itself, but his upside as a setup man makes this contract look potentially brilliant.
Performance Analysis
Dietrich Enns grades as an All-Star caliber performer among MLB relief pitchers, earning a B+ Performance grade. He carries a 3.84 ERA (near the league average of 4.20) and a 1.32 WHIP across 72.2 innings pitched with a 9.5 K/9 rate. His 5-3 record with 4 saves provides context on team support and run prevention. A 9.5 K/9 rate indicates above-average swing-and-miss stuff. As a experienced veteran at 34, Dietrich is a key contributor for the Orioles.
