In Silas Ardoin and Douglas Hodo, the Orioles drafted two exciting Texas Longhorns

The Baltimore Orioles selected two Texas Longhorns on the second day of the 2022 MLB Draft — catcher Silas Ardoin in the fourth round, and outfielder Douglas Hodo in the sixth round. Ben Howell, who does Analytics for Texas baseball, joins Host Connor Newcomb to give out the scouting report on these two draft picks.

First, Ben tells us about Ardoin's elite defensive skills behind the plate and his ability to control the strike zone as a hitter. Then, Ben chats about how well Hodo patrols centerfield and how he upped his power numbers at the plate in 2022.

But first, Connor recaps Monday's big minor league news, including the potential for a union, Grayson Rodriguez returning to the mound, and Colton Cowser getting promoted to Triple-A.
