People forget that the reason the Orioles were able to sign Coby Mayo out of High School is because they did a cRaZy thing and passed on Austin Martin to go underslot with Heston Kjerstad.

Orioles now have two Top 50 prospects raking in AAA while Austin Martin is an afterthought https://t.co/2DbzP33jG4
