The recent attention in the Minor League system of the Baltimore Orioles has been focused on the playoff possibilities and the playoffs themselves. Lost amidst the playoff excitement may have been the Baltimore Orioles announcement of the organization’s MiLB Pitcher and Player of the month for August. The team announced that left-handed pitcher Kevin Magee and catcher Adley Rutschman were the respective award winners.
Magee, the Orioles 9th round draft pick in 2018, earned the honor based on a month in which he made six starts for the Aberdeen Ironbirds (A-Short), starts that could be described as simply dominant.
