The Baltimore Orioles have filled one of the open positions in the front office, naming Koby Perez as their new Senior Director of International Scouting.
Perez has spent the past five years with the Indians, the last three of which he spent serving as their Director of Baseball Operations in Latin America.
In a statement made earlier today, Mike Elias called the hire “a major step in improving our footing in Latin America”. The Orioles have long been without a real presence in the international market, and hiring someone with Perez’s background is a big leap forward for the Orioles.
