Before half a Southwest boarding group’s worth of players came north from Sarasota to join Low-A Delmarva, the Shorebirds hadn’t won a series since the beginning of July.
This week, thanks to an influx of the Orioles’ 2021 draftees, they swept Fredericksburg and outscored them 56-18, with none of the four pitchers who joined the team allowing a run and six of the hitters who came north having an OPS over .800.
They could all be featured in this Orioles minor league report, where each week, The Baltimore Sun will break down five of the top performers in the Orioles’ prospect ranks and hand out some superlatives for those who didn’t make that cut.
