The Baltimore Orioles have officially promoted outfielder Dylan Beavers, their No. 3 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, for his Major League debut. Beavers is set to join the Orioles for their game against the Houston Astros on the evening of March 15, 2024. This move marks a significant step in the young player’s career, following his standout performances in the minor leagues.
Beavers, who stands at an impressive 6 feet 5 inches, was selected by the Orioles as the 33rd overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft. His journey through the ranks of professional baseball has been notable; this season, he has played 94 games with Triple-A Norfolk, boasting an impressive slash line of .304/.420/.515/.935. During this time, he has recorded 104 hits, 78 runs, 18 home runs, 51 RBIs, and 23 stolen bases.
In total, Beavers has played across 361 games during his four seasons in the minor leagues, maintaining a career batting average of .278 alongside 44 home runs, 180 RBIs, and 87 stolen bases. The 24-year-old athlete recently celebrated his birthday, turning 24 on March 11, 2024. His versatility allows him to play all three outfield positions, adding depth to the Orioles’ roster.
In a corresponding roster move, the Orioles designated outfielder Greg Allen for assignment. Allen, who was signed just last week after being released by the Chicago Cubs, struggled during his time with the Orioles, going hitless in 14 at-bats.
As Beavers prepares to make his mark in the Major Leagues, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how his skills translate to the highest level of baseball. This debut not only showcases the potential of a promising player but also reflects the Orioles’ commitment to developing young talent in the organization.
