Felix Hernández made his first spring training start of 2021 this weekend, pitching two innings in his debut for the Baltimore Orioles.

It's still a bit weird to think of Hernández in another uniform after the right-hander made 418 starts in 15 seasons for Seattle. 

His final two seasons with the Mariners were a struggle, though. 

Then he opted out of 2020 while with Atlanta, and now he's with the Orioles as a non-roster invite. 

Hernández turns 35 next month. 

He hasn't been an All-Star since 2015. Hernández gave up two runs against Detroit on Saturday.
