Orioles first round pick/former Auburn C/OF Ike Irish and his father/former Blue Jays minor leaguer Jeff Irish were guests on Glenn Clark Radio Wednesday.
Among the topics they discussed were:
-Jeff’s background as a high level baseball player and how that impacted Ike’s decision to play the sport
-Their emotions when Ike was selected by the Orioles with the 17th pick in the MLB Draft
-Has Ike gotten to know Gunnar Henderson at all with Gunnar’s many trips back to Auburn in recent years?
-Ike’s decision to play in the outfield after a scapula injury last year when, according to Jeff, coach Butch Thompson told him he could have the catching job back and why his dad was so proud of that decision
-What the Orioles are getting in their first round pick
