MLB Draft 2025 Shockers: Nationals and Angels Upend Expectations While Orioles’ Blockbuster Haul Stuns Fans
For the first four picks, it was business as usual for Baltimore: more bats. Auburn’s Ike Irish was one of the more surprising fallers of the first round, as arguably the most polished college hitter in the class, and the Orioles happily scooped him up at No. 19. Then with back-to-back picks at 30 and 31, Baltimore snagged two more high-profile collegians in switch-hitting Coastal Carolina catcher Caden Bodine, the best backstop in the class, and Golden Spikes Award winner Wehiwa Aloy, the star shortstop from Arkansas. The hitter haul continued with the recently acquired pick No. 37, as the Orioles flexed their humongous bonus pool to land one of the top left-handed prep bats available in Slater De Brun, whom I ranked 26th.
