Orioles MLB draft Day 2 tracker: Baltimore selects Tulane outfielder Hudson Haskin with second-round pick

With the MLB drafted shortened to five rounds as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the Orioles will select four players Thursday to complete their second draft under executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias.

The Orioles have the second pick in each of Thursday four rounds, picking behind the Detroit Tigers each time.

The Orioles kept their run on position players going by drafting Tulane outfielder Hudson Haskin. A draft-eligible sophomore, Haskin hit .372/.459/.647 in his freshman season while playing center field. As a sophomore, he was hitting .333/.452/.500 with 14 walks against 10 strikeouts before the coronavirus pandemic prematurely ended the season.
