The first pick a team makes in a given draft is the one who gets the most attention. This is especially true when you are picking at #1, like the Orioles did this year. A good #1 pick is a nice start to having a good draft. The thing that separates the good drafts from the great ones is being able to find other future MLB players with subsequent picks.
The Orioles had two more chances in the draft’s first two rounds to add talent on Monday night. With their second round pick at #42 overall, they selected shortstop Gunnar Henderson from Morgan Academy in Alabama.
