Having to wait until toward the end of the first round, the Orioles beefed up their position player depth Monday night by selecting Florida State outfielder D.J. Stewart with the 25th overall pick of the 2015 amateur draft.
Stewart is a 6-foot, 230-pound, left-handed hitter who led the nation in walks with 69 and had an on-base percentage of .500 while hitting 15 home runs and driving in 59 runs in 64 games as a junior for the Seminoles this season.
He projects as a left fielder, and immediately becomes one of the organization's top outfield prospects — not currently a strength in the Orioles' minor league system.
