The Orioles’ first three picks were Auburn catcher/corner outfielder Ike Irish (No. 19), Coastal Carolina catcher Caden Bodine (No. 30) and Wehiwa Aloy (No. 31). The No. 19 pick was the Orioles’ original first-round selection, while Nos. 30 and 31 were compensation for losing Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander in free agency.

One of the core issues the Baltimore Orioles are facing is the lack of depth in their farm system. In 2023, the team ranked first in the league for its high-ceiling prospects Jackson Holliday and Gunnar Henderson.

By selecting the likes of Ike Irish, Caden Bodine, Wehiwa Aloy and Slater de Brun, the Baltimore Orioles took full advantage of their treasure trove of draft picks this week.
