More than most teams, the Orioles love participating in the Rule 5 Draft. From 2006-20, not a year went by without the O’s making at least one selection, a stretch that stood out as one of the most active in recent memory.

Some of those picks turned into longtime regulars, while others never reached the Majors.

Here are all the players the Orioles selected in the Rule 5 Draft since 1960:

2022: Red Sox RHP Andrew Politi
A 15th-round pick in the 2018 Draft, Politi reached Triple-A for the first time in '22, when he posted a 2.41 ERA in 38 outings for Worcester. However, the righty did not make Baltimore's 2023 Opening Day roster and was returned to Boston at the end of Spring Training that year.
