Orioles minor league recap 6/16: Grayson Rodriguez makes spotty Bowie home debut

If you’ll excuse me for switching up the usual order of recaps, I’m going to start with Bowie, which hosted one of the most hotly anticipated minor league games in recent memory. Grayson Rodriguez, MLB Pipeline’s newly minted best pitching prospect in baseball, made his Baysox home debut after two road starts to begin his Double-A career. The battery of Rodriguez and Adley Rutschman, the overall second-best prospect in baseball, made this a must-see event, with a spirited crowd of 4,963 — myself and Stacey among them — filling the stands at Prince George’s Stadium, many with gas cans in tow.
