@8OriolesFan8 @BraydenFry2026 Played against him many times being at a rival school. One of the purest hitters I’ve seen. Hits the same off everyone. Goodluck brotha

The Orioles selected HS shortstop Brayden Fry with the 470th overall pick in the 16th round of the MLB draft.

Fry is 6-foot, 160 pounds and only 17 years old. A Saint Joseph’s commit, the Orioles will see if they can convince Fry to sign instead.

Strong start to the first tournament of the summer, going 4/9 with a 2 run HR, 1 2B, and 2 1B. Feeling great at the plate with a consistent bat path and aggressive approach. Defensively, I’ve been playing with confidence and staying smooth through the ball.

Brayden Fry thought he slugged a three-run homer in the 2nd inning but it got called back.

So, he supplied a knock-out blow with a bigger three-run homer in the 6th that put an exclamation point on Cranford's win and sealed a sectional title: https://t.co/KSePLj4yf3

@SJUHawks_Base Commit

BUILD 6’0 170

Stays behind this one very well for a backside 💣 High handset with a smooth toe tap stride & stays consistent with a gap-to-gap approach. Smooth actions in the field with stellar lateral range and adjustability with his glove.
