Was the 2019 draft class the best in Baltimore Orioles history?

As Gunnar Henderson continues to be named the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball, doing so one year after Adley Rutschman did the same, you have to look at the Baltimore Orioles 2019 MLB Draft and ask: is it the best draft class in franchise history?

Host Connor Newcomb tries to answer that question by looking at the other players in that 2019 class like Kyle Stowers and Darell Herniaz. Then, he compares it to other great Orioles drafts in which they selected players like Brian Roberts, Matt Wieters, Cal Ripken Jr., Eddie Murray, and others.

Finally, Connor looks specifically at the Orioles history of first round picks and discusses how for every Adley Rutschman and Manny Machado, there are 10 picks like Matt Hobgood and Billy Rowell.
