The 2025 MLB Draft is in the books.

The Orioles made 24 selections over two days of the draft on Sunday and Monday. Their first pick, No. 19 overall, was Auburn catcher/outfielder Ike Irish and their final pick in round 20 was right-handed pitcher Connor Gehr of Meridian Community College.

The O’s selected 13 pitchers and 11 position players among their 24 picks.

They drafted eight right-handers and five lefties along with four outfielders, five infielders and two catchers.

The O’s have the largest signing pool of any team in the majors with a total pool dollar amount of $19,144,500.
