Well, the gang is all here. In 2013, the first three college bats drafted by the Orioles were Dosch (#7), Mancini (#8) and Yaz (#13). All three started their first full season at Delmarva last year. Yaz jumped twice to Bowie, while Mancini jumped to Frederick. This year, Yaz returned to Bowie while Dosch and Mancini started at Frederick, and now they are all reunited at Bowie. It will be interesting to see how they progress from here. Mancini is tearing it up so far in 9 games (.997 OPS), and Yaz has been so-so (.734 OPS). Dosch had been solid but not spectacular in Frederick (.720 OPS), but it isn't uncommon for hitters to do better in Bowie, so we'll see.

It's worth noting that although all three were drafted the same year, Yaz was a four-year college guy who is 19 months older than Mancini and 22 months older than Dosch.

I thought they would wait till after the AS games. But here's hoping Dosch's bat comes alive at Bowie.
