Ryan Mountcastle, the former first-round pick and a top Orioles hitting prospect who hasn't found a defensive home yet on the diamond, is adding another new position to his repertoire this major league camp.
Mountcastle, who turned 22 Monday, worked primarily at first base during the first full-team workout at Orioles camp after just one full season at third base, with the new Orioles' coaching staff giving him his third position since he was drafted in 2015 as a shortstop in hopes of finding an easy path for his advanced bat to reach the majors in.
