By
November 18, 2014

The Orioles today announced that they have signed RHP OLIVER DRAKE to a major league contract.

Drake, 27, posted a 3.08 ERA (52.2IP, 18ER), 31 saves, and 71 strikeouts in 50 appearances for Double-A Bowie in 2014. His 12.1 strikeouts per 9.0 innings were the best single-season mark in his seven-year minor league career and he held hitters to a .214/.278/.297 line in 210 plate appearances.

Drake has gone 32-28 with a 3.53 ERA (545.0IP, 214ER) and 40 saves in 160 minor league games (73 starts) since being selected by the Orioles in the 43rd round of the 2008 First Year Player Draft out of the US Naval Academy.

The Orioles now have 34 players on their 40-man major league roster.
