This could look different in a few days. There could be plenty more blowouts the other way. But, against the worst team in baseball, the Orioles showed they’re capable of turning it on at times. This became the largest shutout victory in Orioles history, surpassing a 17-0 result in 1969.

Slater de Brun, the top-ranked high school outfielder in the 2025 MLB Draft class, secured quite the payday from the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday.

With the trade deadline a week away, the Orioles’ prospect rankings on Baseball America and MLB Pipeline got an update.

Yet play went on, despite visible lightning strikes continuing for the rest of the game. The Orioles have control only over the stadium, not the game, so they decided to move fans for their safety. But the umpires and MLB had to make the call to go into a delay, and they decided to play on.

It seems that former Summit baseball star Slater de Brun will be headed to the pros. On Thursday, the Baltimore Orioles announced that they had signed de Brun, who they drafted in the supplemental first round of the 2025 MLB Draft with the 37th overall pick.

Tony Mansolino said that the Orioles have a “plan in place” for what the rest of top prospect Samuel Basallo’s season could look like.
