MLB Draft results 2015: Orioles draft RHP Jonathan Hughes with #68 overall pick
Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY SportsThe Orioles dipped into the high school pitching class with their second round pick, taking Georgia right-hander Jonathan Hughes with the #68 overall selection.
With the 68th overall pick in the 2015 draft, the Orioles grabbed right-handed pitcher Jonathan Hughes from Flowery Branch High School in Georgia.
After taking a college outfielder with their first pick, and a high school shortstop who MLB Network's crew seemed to think would be destined for the outfield, the Orioles went in a different direction with their second round pick, grabbing a pitcher. Hughes is listed at 6'2", 184 lbs., and is currently committed to Georgia Tech.
