Virginia baseball shortstop Griff O'Ferrall was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles No. 32 overall in the MLB Draft.
UVA shortstop Griff O'Ferrall was selected by the Baltimore Orioles with the 32nd overall pick in 2024 MLB Draft on Sunday night.
The Orioles selected O'Ferrall after the conclusion of the first round with a "prospect promotional incentive" pick they received as a result of Gunnar Henderson winning the American League Rookie of the Year Award in 2023. Coincidentally, Henderson's occupation of Baltimore's shortstop position for the foreseeable future means that O'Ferrall will likely have to excel at a different position, probably second base, in order to eventually play for the Orioles.
The Virginia baseball program has now produced 148 MLB Draft picks all time, 99 of which have come during the Brian O'Connor era.Managing Editor and Publisher, CavaliersNow Email: [email protected]: @mattynewtssWebsite | LinkedIn | Instagram Matt Newton is the managing editor and publisher at CavaliersNow.
