After making two of the top 30 selections during Wednesday’s first day of the MLB draft, the Orioles will try to stockpile more talent Thursday in the final four rounds of a shortened draft.
Baltimore will pick second in each round Thursday, following the Detroit Tigers with each pick. Wednesday, the Orioles used the second overall pick to select Arkansas outfielder Heston Kjerstad after Detroit drafted Arizona State’s Spencer Torkelson first overall. With the 30th overall pick — the first of Competitive Balance Round A — Baltimore selected Mississippi State shortstop Jordan Westburg, adding middle infield talent to a system lacking it.
