The Orioles followed their standard blueprint in the 2024 draft. Baltimore selected college position players with its first four picks, and the Birds targeted players with top-tier traits that needed at least one tweak to develop into major leaguers.
The club did manage to sneak three pitchers into their top 10 selections, but the early attention fell on the hitters. Thanks to their success at the major league level, the Orioles did not make a selection until the 22nd pick.
Baltimore was linked to North Carolina outfielder Vance Honeycutt in the days leading up to the draft.
