Undefeated Right Hander Blaine Knight, who beat all of the pitchers drafted ahead of him, is on the precipice of signing as an Oriole. The last two draft blocks, under slotting seventh round pick J.J. Montgomery and National Champion First Round Supplemental pick Cayden Grenier, gave both sides a clear understanding of what money there was left to sign arguably the best college starter in the draft.

He did all he could do as a collegiate.

An announcement is reported to be upcoming before the July 4th holiday.
