The Baltimore Orioles have signed shortstop Brayden Fry, their 16th-round selection in the 2026 MLB Draft. Fry, the 470th overall pick, was selected out of Cranford High School in New Jersey and had held a verbal commitment to Division I Saint Joseph's University prior to being drafted. His signing was confirmed as part of a group announcement covering the club's first 18 signed draft picks, with the deadline for 2026 selections set for July 27 at 5 p.m. Eastern.
Fry was one of several draft picks the Orioles locked up around the same time, with the organization also announcing signings of RHP Garrison Sumner, RHP Ross Norman, C Leo Marrero, RHP Diego Gutierrez, and SS Jimmy Anderson in a flurry of pre-deadline activity.
