The 2022 Baltimore Orioles season was the 122nd season in Baltimore Orioles franchise history, the 69th in Baltimore, and the 31st at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. They successfully improved on their 52–110 record from the previous year, with their 53rd win coming on August 2 against the Texas Rangers. They then surpassed the 2019 record days later, and had their most wins in one season since the 2016 season. The Orioles surpassed their 2017 win total on September 18 against the Blue Jays. [2] The Orioles clinched their first winning season since 2016 with their 82nd win coming against the Yankees on October 2, but were eliminated from playoff contention for the sixth straight season due to the Mariners' win over the Athletics on September 30.
On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, the MLB and MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Opening Day was played on April 7.[3] Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders.[4]
Offseason
Lockout
The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021 with no new agreement in place.[5] As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades.[6][7]
The parties came to an agreement on a new CBA on March 10, 2022.[8] The season was delayed to begin on April 7, 2022, a week later than the original start time.
Rule changes
Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season. The National League will adopt the designated hitter full-time, a draft lottery will be implemented, the postseason will expand from ten teams to twelve, and advertising patches will appear on player uniforms and helmets for the first time.[9][10]
