It's no secret the Baltimore Orioles are a team in need of talent. Fans hope catcher Adley Rutschman, the No. 1 overall pick in 2019, will be a franchise player in the future, but pitcher Grayson Rodriguez is proving he could play a large part in helping the organization's ascension as well.
Baltimore selected Rodriguez with the 11th overall pick in 2018 out of Central Heights High School in Nacogdoches, Texas, and he pitched 19 innings in the Gulf Coast League last year. While he found success in his brief time there, he's blowing the competition away this season at Low-A Delmarva.
"[Pitching well] is a big confidence booster. Going into your first full season you don't really know what all to expect. It's a different kind of pro baseball," Rodriguez said on Glenn Clark Radio June 28. "Last year I kind of got a little bit of taste of it in the GCL, but it being my first full season [now], I finally get to experience it and it's been great so far."
