In sharp contrast to some recent Orioles seasons, the MLB draft is not the most exciting part of the summer for fans of the team. The draft wasn’t even the second-most exciting thing to happen to the Orioles on its first day, with the team slugging the stuffing out of the Twins in its final game before the All-Star break, and a report from MASN’s Steve Melewski that 2020 O’s draft pick Coby Mayo is being promoted to Triple-A and later adding that 2022 #1 overall Jackson Holliday is going up to Double-A.
It’s not as imperative as it was when the Orioles picked in the top 5 over the past few years to nail the pick.
