Boddicker debuted for the Orioles in 1980, but he did not become a permanent member of the starting rotation until 1983. That season, he led the American League in Shutouts (5), went 16-8, and in the playoffs, he would win the ALCS MVP. Boddicker and Baltimore followed that up with a World Series championship that year.
The next season was Boddicker’s best year in baseball as he had league-leading 20 Wins and a 2.79 ERA while going to his first All-Star Game and a fourth place finish in Cy Young voting. He played three more years in Baltimore before being traded to the Red Sox.
As an Oriole, Boddicker had a record of 79-73 with 836 Strikeouts and was chosen for the Orioles Hall of Fame in 2001.
