Baltimore Orioles consider pitching prospects ahead of 2026 MLB Draft
Summary

With a record of 31-36, the Baltimore Orioles are eyeing potential targets for the 2026 MLB Draft. The team has the seventh pick and is looking to rebuild after a disappointing previous season. Top prospect Jackson Flora, a right-hand pitcher from UC Santa Barbara, finished the season 12-0 with a 1.06 ERA, making him a likely candidate. Another option is Cameron Flukey from Coastal Carolina, who missed most of the season but could be a cost-effective choice for the Orioles to bolster their pitching staff.
