The Orioles concluded this year’s major league draft with 30 picks on the final day, and used one of them to create a special moment in the visiting batting cage below Guaranteed Rate Field.
Tyler Coolbaugh, a switch-hitting infielder from Angelo State, was in the batting cage with his father, Orioles hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh, when the team picked him as its 36th-round pick Wednesday.
While his dad was working with the major league players in preparation for the game, Tyler Coolbaugh was watching the draft scroll across his screen when his name popped up.
