BERKELEY – Former California outfielder Dylan Beavers was called up to the Baltimore Orioles and will be in the starting lineup Saturday for his MLB debut.
 
Beavers will be batting sixth and playing in right field when the O's face the Houston Astros today at 4:10 p.m. PT.
 
The former Golden Bears' call up has been highly anticipated due to the stellar season Beavers has had with Baltimore Triple-A affiliate team the Norfolk Tide. In 94 games Beavers has put together a slash line of .304/.420/.515/.935 to go with 18 home runs, 51 RBI, and 23 stolen bases.
 
MLB Pipeline marks Beavers as the Orioles third-ranked overall prospect and top outfielder. He was selected by Baltimore with the 33rd overall pick of the 2022 MLB Draft.
 
For Cal, Beavers was a back-to-back First Team All-Pac-12 selection and ABCA West All-Region first team selection in 2021 and 2022.
