DALLAS — As the Orioles began discussions with Tyler O’Neill and Gary Sánchez, general manager Mike Elias had an ace up his sleeve: a rendering.

The outfielder and catcher were shown the new configuration of the left-field wall at Camden Yards, which will make the stadium less penal to right-handed power hitters such as O’Neill and Sánchez. Next season, Elias told them, the the wall will move as much as 20 feet closer to home plate and the height will go down by 5 feet in left field and just over 6 feet in left-center.

“I think if you are a right-handed power hitter it’s probably something you want to see,” Elias said Tuesday at the winter meetings. “People like hits going over the wall.”

O’Neill’s three-year, $49.5 million deal (with an opt out after the 2025 season) and Sánchez’s one-year, $8.5 million contract were finalized Tuesday, and the new dimensions were a factor in the players picking the Orioles.

The Orioles are hoping their new hitters’ skill sets — both can hit for power and draw walks — will supplement an offense that stumbled through the second half. The injures, which were plentiful, are still partly to blame, but those who remained on the field faltered, too. Baltimore hit 149 home runs in the first half and just 86 in the second, and the team’s walk rate and OPS were lower after the break as well. In the wild-card series, when the Royals swept the Orioles, Baltimore scored just one run in two games.

The coaching staff — which now features Cody Asche as hitting coach with new additions Tommy Joseph and Sherman Johnson as assistants — will get together to talk it over, manager Brandon Hyde said, but the team doesn’t plan to change its philosophy.

“We scored a ton of runs, especially the first half, and a lot of that came from homers and [slugging],” Hyde said. “We had some guys with their walk totals that were down from the normal years. I think you’re going to see that go back up. We still believe in creating runs with our speed and contact, but also we have the ability to hit a home run. If you look at our lineup, it’s not a ton of experience in there, and I think that as guys get — year after year, I think they’re going to continue to improve.”

Getting catcher Adley Rutschman, who had a .303 slugging percentage with a .585 OPS in the second half, back on track will be key. When asked what happened, Hyde said Rutschman is still early in his career and he believes the young backstop’s struggles will make him better.

“That was the first offensive adversity that he’s had,” Hyde said. “I look for Adley to have a big year next year. Adley got off to a good start. I think Adley is in a great place right now physically and mentally. I think he’s going to come into camp really, really driven.”

The Orioles are planning to give Heston Kjerstad more playing time this season, which could provide more power to their offense, but Elias noted that they won’t overexpose him and might sit up against a tough left-handed pitcher. Ryan Mountcastle, they believe, is also poised for a big year, especially with the wall being moved in.

“I don’t think he’s reached his potential at all,” Hyde said. “I think he’s got the ability to really be a force offensively, and he’s shown signs of that over his first few years. Maybe moving the wall in a little bit will rejuvenate him a little bit. I look for a big year out of Mounty.”

While there’s still plenty of time left in the offseason, the position group is likely set with the additions of O’Neill and Sánchez, although Elias didn’t completely rule out the possibility of adding another outfielder. Anthony Santander and James McCann, two key clubhouse leaders, are likely heading off to other teams.

That leaves one other question for the offense: If things get tough again, who will pull them out of it?

It’s up to guys like Rutschman, Henderson and Jordan Westburg now, Hyde said, to step up on and off the field.

“I do feel like some of our young guys are ready for that,” he said. “Definitely talented enough, and I think that those last two successful years regular season-wise and two disappointing postseasons, they’re ready to take that next step.”
