Orioles complete 2016 draft

The Major League Baseball draft is done and the Orioles selected 41 players, including 27 pitchers.

Thirty-one of the selections are college athletes. The Orioles picked 15 right-handed pitchers, 12 southpaws, nine infielders and five outfielders.

The Orioles also took left-hander Brandon Bonilla in the 13th round out of Hawaii Pacific. If the name sounds familiar, he's the son of former Oriole Bobby Bonilla. And no, the Mets aren't paying his contract, too.

The Orioles drafted Brandon Bonilla in the 25th round in 2014, but were unable to sign him. He went 2-0 with a 0.36 ERA and a program-record 12 saves this year in 25 1/3 innings. He struck out 38 batters.
