The 2022 MLB Draft has come and gone. The Orioles, starting with #1 overall pick Jackson Holliday, made a total of 22 picks in the draft. On the agenda between now and the August 1 deadline is to get these players signed to contracts and officially into the Orioles system.
During the Mike Elias era, the Orioles have signed the vast majority of picks. In 2019, when the draft still had 40 rounds, the O’s signed every pick for the first 33 rounds. They signed all six picks made in the shortened 2020 draft, and last year when the draft settled on its new 20 round format, the O’s signed 21 out of 21 players chosen.
