Here's the Baseball America scouting report on Orioles' fifth round pick Alexis Torres, a shortstop from Caguas, Puerto Rico:

"After Delvin Perez, Torres was considered the best defensive infielder in Puerto Rico this year. He has good hands and an above-average arm, giving him the tools to make all the necessary plays. He has good infield actions and enough range for the middle infield thanks to his average speed. A righthhanded hitter, Torres has a contact-oriented approach at the plate, though will occasionally show some pop. His bat gives him more of a utility infielder profile, but as he physically matures, his offensive profile should further improve. Torres earns praise for his makeup and feel for the game. He is committed to Broward County (Fla.) JC."

In the sixth round: The Orioles took right-hander Tobias Myers from Winter Haven High School. Here's the Baseball America scouting report:

"Myers had some early buzz this spring after he touched 93 mph with his fastball, but has more typically pitched around 90 mph. He combines his fastball with a solid curveball and a seldom-used changeup. Myers is a good athlete and has a loose, easy delivery that he repeats well. He earns praise for his pitchability. Listed at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, there is some projection to him, particularly because has been a two-way player in high school. Myers is committed to South Florida."
