This year’s edition of the MLB Draft has come and gone during the All-Star break. The Orioles had a total of 21 selections over the draft’s 20 rounds, starting with first round pick Vance Honeycutt and going all the way down to 20th round pick Evan Yates. The next task is to sign these guys. This will play out from now through the signing deadline on August 1.
Although there have been “sign every player” draft classes in Mike Elias’s tenure, the team had a few unsigned players in 2022 and 2023. I expect that to be the case again with the 2024 draft class, which will probably end up with the O’s signing 18 or 19 of their 21 picks.
