Orioles hire Koby Perez as senior director of international scouting

The Orioles’ first piece of business of 2019 was one new executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias has said was a priority from his arrival in November: bringing in someone to lead the club’s under-utilized international scouting operation.

On Wednesday, he tapped Indians director of Latin American scouting Koby Perez to serve as senior director of international scouting, which Elias called the “first major step in improving our footing in Latin America.

No compatible source was found for this media.

“In Koby Perez, we have found the right person to spearhead the Orioles’ new international presence,” Elias said in a statement.
