Trey Gibson will be a phone call away. He’s easy to reach.
Gibson, 23, went from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Chesapeake and Triple-A Norfolk this season and was chosen as the organization’s Minor League Pitcher of the Year, achieving the honor as an undrafted free agent in 2023.
How close is he to making his major league debut?
“I think pretty close,” he said yesterday while meeting with the media outside the Orioles’ clubhouse.
A 19-year-old outfielder will be honored as the Orioles’ top minor league player in 2025.

Nate George will receive his award tonight in an on-field ceremony prior to the game against the Rays at Camden Yards. Right-hander Trey Gibson, 23, was chosen as the system’s top pitcher.
Florida Complex League manager Christian Frias and area scout Rich Amaral also were recognized for their contributions to the organization.
The Orioles drafted George in the 16th round in 2024 out of Minooka Community High School in Illinois. His first professional season carried him to three levels – the FCL, Class A Delmarva and High-A Aberdeen – and he hit a combined .337/.413/.483 with 14 doubles, nine triples, five home runs, 42 RBIs, 38 walks, 62 strikeouts and 50 stolen bases in 87 games.
