Short Season-A Aberdeen outfielder Dalton Hoiles -- whose father, Chris, was a catcher for 10 seasons with the Baltimore Orioles -- is looking to create his own path in professional baseball.
Dalton, 23, is playing in his second season with the IronBirds and is trying to solidify himself as a legitimate outfield prospect. While he says he tries not to put pressure on himself to live up to the family name, fans still ask him about his father and want him to sign memorabilia that already has Chris' signature.
Chris played his entire big-league career for the Orioles from 1989-1998. He was inducted into the Orioles Hall of Fame in 2006.
