When the Orioles drafted Nate George with the 489th pick of the 2024 draft, the selection barely registered a blip on the prospect radar. Baseball America had George ranked 272nd among draft-eligible prospects.
As a disappointing 2025 season comes to an end, the Baltimore Orioles honored two of their brightest young stars on Wednesday, naming them their Minor League Players of the Year.
Nate George, a 19-year-outfielder who just completed his first season of professional baseball has been named the Orioles’ minor league player of the year.
A Major League switch hitter has hit at least 35 home runs on 35 occasions in MLB history. How many of the switch hitters to reach that milestone can you name in five minutes?
Starting pitcher Cameron Weston battled through a first inning where he walked two guys and allowed a single, surrendering a run on a sacrifice fly. From there, Weston pitched another six innings and only allowed two more hits and two walks, recording a total of six strikeouts.
The stars were out in full force during the 2025 World Series. From Max Scherzer in Toronto to Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and of course, Shohei Ohtani, in Los Angeles, there was no shortage of the game's best under the brightest lights.
The Tides had 10 hits in the game, half of which came in the second inning. The first five batters reached base in the inning, but they made two outs on the basepaths to hold the rally to three runs.
Tyler Wells turned in another decent rehab appearance with the Tides. The former Rule 5 pick allowed two earned runs on six hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out four, walked one, and threw 58 of 85 pitches for strikes.
Plus the traded players have arrived. The Tides scored their first six runs of the game on just six hits as they found nearly every way to score without getting a hit that they could.
