Former Orioles fifth-round pick now in the Firefighters outfield
Lamar Sparks entered professional baseball straight out of Seven Lakes High School after Baltimore selected him in the fifth round of the 2017 MLB Draft. His path to Banana Ball includes time in the Orioles organization before joining the Firefighters outfield.

Draft2017 MLB Draft — Baltimore Orioles, Round 5, Pick 158
Background
MLB’s draft archive confirms that Baltimore took Sparks 158th overall in 2017. He opened his pro career that summer in the Gulf Coast League, where he combined patience and speed in his first extended run against professional pitching. That early pro background separates his route to the Firefighters from the college-heavy paths of many current Banana Ball players.
