With the MLB drafted shortened to five rounds as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the Orioles will select four players Thursday to complete their second draft under executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias.
Wednesday night, the Orioles surprised many by taking Arkansas outfielder Heston Kjerstad second overall. At 30th overall, they drafted Mississippi State shortstop Jordan Westburg with the first pick of Competitive Balance Round A.
The Orioles have the second pick in each of Thursday four rounds, picking behind the Detroit Tigers each time.
