After bout with vertigo, Orioles’ Ryan Mountcastle finding form at plate: ‘I’m starting to get that confidence back’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:05:35 GMT

Vertigo presented a number of challenges for Ryan Mountcastle.First it was the strange feeling of dizziness in the field. Then the difficulty picking up the ball out of the pitcher’s hand at the plate. And, finally, an absence from the game, a month away from the big leagues as he managed the symptoms while on the injured list.But perhaps the most difficult part, he said, was when he began his minor league rehabilitation assignment with the Norfolk Tides. The first baseman was slumping at the plate before he began experiencing vertigo, and those struggles continued when he returned against minor league pitching. He went 0-for-12 with five strikeouts in his first three rehab games.“I was like, ‘It’s Triple-A, I should be able to kill it,’” Mountcastle recalls thinking. “I still was having symptoms, and I was like ‘Is this ever going to go away?”Those vertigo symptoms — the sensation that the environment around oneself is mov...
