Found a decade old article that kind of explains why in the rebuild Elias did not draft pitchers with high picks.

Would the current development group have had better success with that group? We’ll never know for sure, but I think so. Even in a crap shoot, there are groups who do it better than the others. The former regime was way behind the times. 

Gausman could have done more with a better system, but looking at whom the Orioles passed on: they should have still gone position-heavy in their drafts.

I don’t disagree. They have built excellent depth. Going forward, we should look for opportunities to take pitchers with significant arm talent.
