The O's took a college SS to start Day 2 of the draft
Steve with the A’s already playing Kurtz from last years draft and the Royals playing Jac C do we believe one of these early picks catcher will impact the Orioles in 2026? Not high school guys no need to spend 4 years in the minor leagues.
Possible. Top college players can move fast, but that would be pretty fast indeed.
They also have Adley and Basallo in the way.
I expect Basallo becomes more of a 1b/DH type. Kid picked from Coastal Carolina supposedly is the best catcher defensively in draft.
