Colin Yeaman News: Going to Baltimore

Updated on July 15, 2025 at 3:49pm

The Orioles have selected Yeaman with the 124th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.

The Orioles like taking college position players, and Yeaman fits the bill, coming off a breakout year for UC Irvine where he slashed .336/.447/.591 with 13 home runs and a 17.4 percent strikeout rate in 60 games. Yeaman won't be much of a runner and likely won't stick at shortstop. He could be an offensive-minded second baseman.
