CHICAGO - The Orioles are expected to announce today that catcher Matt Wieters, the organization's first-round draft pick last season and its top prospect, will be promoted to Double-A Bowie.
Wieters hit .342 with 14 homers and 38 RBIs in 68 games at Single-A Frederick to earn the promotion. He had a .445 on-base percentage and .560 slugging percentage, earning a berth in the midseason All-Star game.
Wieters, who turned 22 last week, was the fifth overall selection out of Georgia Teach in the 2007 first-year player draft.
