The Rundown 🌟
Orioles prospect Connor Norby (22) was 3 for 4 yesterday with a pair of homers and a triple to help Bowie (AA) top Erie, 6-5. Norby started the year in High-A and has slashed a combined .269 / .346 / .509 with 22 home runs across two levels this season. Norby was among the most advanced hitters coming out of the 2021 draft after hitting .415 / .484 / .659 at East Carolina. The Orioles popped him in the second round believing his well above-average bat would be able to carry him despite being an average runner and defender at second base. It’s been a wildly successful season for the Orioles organization and Norby is part of the wave of talented players getting closer to contributing at the big league level in Baltimore.
