The Baltimore Orioles have signed right-hander Diego Gutierrez, their 500th-overall pick from the 2026 MLB Draft, finalizing the deal on July 25 — two days ahead of the July 27 signing deadline. Gutierrez, born May 3, 2003, in Paramount, California, was the second University of San Diego product selected in this year's draft.
The signing is part of a busy post-draft period for Baltimore, which also officially signed shortstop Jimmy Anderson on the same day. Further details regarding Gutierrez's contract terms and initial roster assignment have not yet been confirmed.
