“One year after trade, Orioles prospect Terrin Vavra among most productive hitters on farm | The Baltimore Sun Of the potential utility players in the Orioles minor league system, Vavra seems to be the one best poised to stick in the big leagues long term. Links & Notes Orioles minor league report: Kyle Stowers, Adley Rutschman helping bolster slugging numbers on the farm | The Baltimore Sun A lot of things will need to go right, but it sure feels like the Orioles have a chance to have a real exciting offense in the not-so-distant future. Given the uncertainty of the Orioles bullpen, it seems reasonable to think the team could re-sign the lefty with an invite to spring training next year. 1999 – Albert Belle hits his 30th home run of the season for the Orioles.”

“INF Richie Martin Hyde said Martin would be back after the Orioles optioned him to Triple-A on Aug. But if he can string along a few rehab appearances without reporting discomfort in his right shoulder, the Orioles would love to see the hard-throwing righty back on the big league mound. I would like to see our guys finish the year strong and win as many games as we can.” Between Urías’ big hit, Wells’ strong outing, Jahmai Jones’ RBI single and Ryan Mountcastle’s double off Ryu in the sixth (which ended the no-hit bid), Tuesday’s victory was brought home largely by rookies. Martin would likely be that infielder.”

His fastball was up to 97 mph this summer and he has a big breaking ball and good feel for a changeup, with some thinking he could give Lesko a run for his money as the top high school arm in this class. Mcclatchy HS (Calif.) College commitment: Stanford Moore can really hit and has plenty of power from the left side of the plate. Ian Ritchie Jr., RHP, Bainbridge HS (Wash.) College commitment: UCLA Ritchie might have been more impressive last summer as an underclassman, but the top player from the Pacific Northwest still showcased a fastball that sat around 93 mph and touched 95.”
