Orioles' Jackson Baumeister: Drafted 63rd overall

The Orioles have selected Baumeister with the 63rd overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft.

A 6-foot-4 righty from Florida State, Baumeister is a converted catcher who has shown well in the Cape Cod League and touched 97 mph as a starter this year. Baltimore likely sees some untapped potential with Baumeister, whose secondary pitches need some refinement.
