Trey Mancini follows through on a single against the White Sox on Wednesday. (Gail Burton/Associated Press)Once the Baltimore Orioles finally shifted their attention to the future last season, the list of major league debuts was long. And yet it’s the last of them — and in the eyes of many back then the least talented of them — who is making the biggest mark on this young Orioles season. Wednesday’s win started tenuously for Means, who needed 25 pitches and worked around two well-hit singles to keep the White Sox off the board in the first inning. He has gotten swinging strikes on 61 of those for a 15.25 percent swinging strike rate.
