Tuesday Morning Scouting Director

Yesterday, the Orioles selected Grayson Rodriguez, a right handed prep pitcher out of Texas, and Cadyn Grenier, a shortstop out of Oregon State who will be destined to have his name spelled incorrectly for the entirety of his Baltimore Oriole franchise career.

Rodriguez was a more typical Orioles pick under the Duquette regime. Big body with a professional delivery that is quick to the plate. This leaves a lot less for the developmental staff to figure out. He also checks another Orioles box in that he has a lively two seamer that pairs nicely with a slider. The Orioles have been focusing a great deal on pitchers with good two seam / slider interplay.
