The Orioles used the first of several early draft picks to select Auburn catcher/right fielder Ike Irish, continuing the trend of college hitters.

The Baltimore Orioles took Ike Irish 19th overall in the 2025 MLB Draft, giving Auburn baseball a first-round draftee for the first time since 2020.

Janson Junk allowed five hits over seven innings to prevail in a pitcher's duel with former Marlins standout Trevor Rogers, Derek Hill drove in two runs and Xavier Edwards homered to help Miami beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-0.
