A look at the current roster listing 2017 draft picks:

Carlos Tosca is the GCL Orioles manager with Milt May serving as hitting coach and Wilson Alvarez the pitching coach.

In Tosca, the Orioles have a veteran, well-respected skipper leading some of their youngest talent.

He has served 18 seasons on major league coaching staffs, including three seasons (1998-2000) as Buck Showalter's bench coach in Arizona.

Showalter noted Tosca got his first win in yesterday's 13-8 victory.

"You think anybody has that type of guy managing in the the Gulf Coast League in baseball," Showalter said during his Tuesday pregame media session. "That is a huge coup for us. He is so good at that level, I've seen him work there. He was my bench in Arizona and he is really good."

Yahn is 5-for-9 in those first two games, Baez is 4-for-9 and Arredondo is 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBIs.
