The Baltimore Orioles appear to be in line to make one of the easiest decisions in recent MLB draft history Monday,
The Orioles will pick first in the 2019 MLB draft and their prize should be Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman.
Rutschman's collegiate career ended in unexpected fashion Saturday, when the Beavers were eliminated from the NCAA tournament, but that means he can kick start his professional career immediately, instead of waiting a few weeks because of a College World Series run.
The projected No. 1 pick is one of a few college players with impressive bats who could land in the top 10, while a handful of the other coveted prospects come from the high school ranks.
