Fourteen of the 35 players currently on the Orioles' roster are products of their farm system. Six of the 14 originally joined the Orioles without stopping at Triple-A Norfolk.
On Sept. 17, left-handed pitcher Tanner Scott had his contract purchased from Double-A Bowie, joining outfielder Austin Hays, who zoomed through the system. Hays came to the Orioles from Bowie Sept. 5.
In 2016, left-hander Donnie Hart came to the team from the Baysox, though he was sent to Norfolk this season, and a year before, right-hander Mychal Givens bypassed the Tides and went directly to the big leagues.
