The Orioles entered the start of the 2025 draft with a rare chance to redefine their minor league system. They were equipped with the largest signing bonus pool ever, four picks in the top 37 and seven picks within the top 93. No other team possessed anything close to that arsenal.
After Sunday night, those first seven picks are in the books. With them the O’s have—barring any unforeseen signability issues—added two college catchers, two college pitchers, a college shortstop, a high school outfielder, and a college outfielder to the organization at a time where the farm system could use a boost.
