Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman goes first to Orioles
Baltimore went with the consensus top prospect in the MLB Draft, taking Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman.
Rutschman hit .418 for the Beavers with 17 home runs.
He’s of the Bryce Harper (Washington, 2010) and Dansby Swanson (Arizona, 2015) type of prospect and not of the more uncertain types of drafts that yielded top picks like Royce Lewis (Minnesota, 2017) and Mickey Moniak (Philadelphia, 2016).
