The Baltimore Orioles had a successful first day of the 2025 MLB draft, selecting four promising players. First-round pick Ike Irish, a catcher who transitioned to right field due to injury, impressed with a 1.179 OPS and 19 home runs. Compensation picks included Caden Bodine, a contact hitter with a high floor, and Wehiwa Aloy, the Golden Spikes Award winner known for his offensive prowess. Balance Round A selection Slater de Brun, an undersized outfielder, showcases strong hitting and speed. The Orioles' draft haul is considered a significant boost to their farm system.
