Following a junior season that saw him produce a 0.328/0.394/0.474 slash line with 18 doubles, 2 triples, 5 home runs, and 34 RBI for the Iowa baseball team, Mason McCoy was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the sixth round of the 2017 MLB Amateur Draft.
The Peoria native was assigned to short-season Aberdeen and produced a magnificent 0.301/0.382/0.409 slash line with 11 doubles, 3 triples, 1 home run, and 29 RBI in 53 games. He’s quietly worked his way through the Orioles minor league system, spending all of the 2018 season with their Single-A squad.
