The 1972 Orioles finished 80–74, placing 3rd in the American League East in a tight, low-scoring season across baseball. Managed by Earl Weaver, the team remained defined by elite pitching. Jim Palmer won 21 games with a 2.07 ERA, while Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar, and Pat Dobson kept Baltimore among the league’s best staffs.
