Orioles outfield prospect Cedric Mullins earned his first major league call-up Friday, the team has announced, making him the first homegrown prospect to debut since the team traded its brightest stars and began a rebuilding process.
The 24-year-old Mullins was previously at Triple-A Norfolk, where he was hitting .267 with 25 extra-base hits in 59 games after earning a promotion from Double-A Bowie by batting .313 with 23 extra-base hits there. Mullins has stolen 21 bases in 22 tries over the two stops, and was the No. 10 prospect in the system in Baseball America’s midseason rankings.
