A look at the Orioles' Florida Complex League roster

CINCINNATI - A new season is beginning today for the Orioles' rookie-level Florida Complex League team. Listed below is the roster for this year’s O’s FCL squad.

This roster features a heavy international flavor with 18 players from the Dominican Republic, 16 born in Venezuela and one from Cuba.

The roster includes infielder Luis Almeyda who was signed to the largest bonus for an international amateur in team history at $2.3 million on Jan. 15, 2023.

Almeyda, now 18, was limited to 19 games in the Dominican Summer League last year by first an ankle sprain and then by a left shoulder issue which required surgery in August.

The roster features three players with this club on minor league injury rehab assignments. They are infielders Terrin Vavra and Max Wagner, and pitcher Jake Cunningham.

Vavra had labrum surgery on his right shoulder. Last season he played only in two games in the minors after June 14 due to the injury and was shut down again after Sept. 1.

This roster lists only two outfielders but certainly, players listed at other positions can and obviously will play out there.

Pitchers

Eddy Alberto, Harol Arias, Bryan Bautista, Carlos Brito, Yeiber Cartaya, Eccel Correa, Ronald Guzmán, Alberto Leandro, Jose Leandro, Jack Maruskin, Miguel Mesa, Francisco Morao, Nelvis Ochoa, Jesús Palacios, Andrés Parra, Eris Rodríguez, Juan Rojas, Issac Solano, Ángel Vargas.

Catchers

Yasmil Bucce, Andrés Nolaya, Carlos Rodríguez, Miguel Rodríguez.

The FCL O’s are scheduled to play 30 home games between today and July 25 on the main field at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, with potential playoffs from July 27-30. The FCL, which includes 15 teams, gives many international players their first professional experience in the United States.
