Orioles Announce Break Camp Roster for Baysox

The Baltimore Orioles have announced the “break camp” roster for its remaining minor league affiliates ahead of the 2022 season, including its preliminary roster for the Bowie Baysox. Ahead of Bowie’s Opening Day matchup with the Richmond Flying Squirrels on April 8th, the current roster is still subject to change.

The 28-man roster includes 13 players with previous experience in Bowie, as well as two players who will be making their Orioles organizational debut (Nolan Hoffman and Matt Vogel).

With the recent announcement by MLB Pipeline naming the Orioles as the best farm system in Minor League Baseball, fans will have the opportunity to see some of the best prospects in the game. The Baysox feature INF Gunnar Henderson, currently the only player on Top-100 Prospects list, at #64. The remaining players among the Top-30 Prospects of the Orioles include INF Jordan Westburg (#6), INF Joey Ortiz (#15), OF Hudson Haskin (#16), LHP Drew Rom (#17), and RHP Adam Hall (#28).

Following the trend of the Orioles’ draft success, only one former first round pick opens on the Bowie roster. Jordan Westburg, the 30th overall pick in the 2020 draft, was a competitive balance selection before the second round. With his selection, Westburg became the highest drafted shortstop in the history of Mississippi State University.

Overall, 14 players listed spent time with Bowie in 2021. This includes Cameron Bishop, Tyler Burch, Ryan Conroy, Andrew Daschbach, Shayne Fontana, Logan Gillaspie, Gunnar Henderson, Morgan McSweeney, Joey Ortiz, Cody Roberts, Drew Rom, Garrett Stallings, Zach Watson, and Jordan Westburg.

The 2022 home season begins on Friday, April 8 at 7:05p against the Richmond Flying Squirrels, the Double-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. Full and Partial Season Ticket packages and Group Tickets are now available for the 2022 season. For more information, please call (301) 805-6000 or visit Baysox.com for more information.
