Mac Horvath, Baltimore Orioles' 2nd-round pick, ‘super excited’ to join baseball’s top farm system

Posted Jul 23, 2023
In his first two seasons at UNC, Mac Horvath exclusively played third base, but this spring he started 32 games at third, 20 in right field and eight in center. He mostly played outfield in the Cape Cod Baseball League, and Orioles director of draft operations Brad Ciolek said Horvath will play both center field and third base to “capitalize on his athleticism.” (Denver Post)
