The Orioles announced four international signings Thursday, including Venezuelan outfielder Angel Gomez, Cuban outfielder Kevin Infante, Dominican right-hander Kelvin LaRoche and Venezuelan shortstop Gilbert Machado.
"Infante is a right-handed-hitting corner outfielder who also possesses the skill set to play second base," Orioles director of player development Brian Graham said in an official team release. "He's a plus runner with a good offensive approach, and we believe that he will develop to be a productive hitter. Gomez is a well-rounded, right-handed-hitting outfielder who can run, throw and play all three outfield positions.
"LaRoche is a durable right-handed pitcher," Graham continued, "whose consistent delivery allows him to throw strikes.
