"I don't think he's going to stop hitting," Auburn HC Butch Thompson said of Orioles first-round pick Ike Irish. "It's the most competitive at-bat that I have seen in my coaching career."

The Baltimore Orioles took Ike Irish 19th overall in the 2025 MLB Draft, giving Auburn baseball a first-round draftee for the first time since 2020.

Ike Irish is the latest Auburn Tiger to be taken in the first round of the MLB draft after being selected by the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.
