The Orioles today also selected the contracts of INF JONATHAN SCHOOP (pronounced “SCOPE”) and LHP MIKE BELFIORE from Double-A Bowie and outrighted RHP OLIVER DRAKE to Triple-A Norfolk.

Schoop, 21, batted .245/.324/.386 in 124 games for Double-A Bowie in 2012. He was the Orioles’ Minor League Player of the Year in 2011 and was signed as a non-drafted free agent out of Curacao on August 20, 2008. Following the 2012 season, Schoop batted .270/.446/.429 with two home runs and 10 RBI in 21 games in the Arizona Fall League and was selected to play in the league’s All-Star Game, the Rising Stars Game. Schoop was also a mid-season Eastern League All-Star with Bowie in 2012.
 
Belfiore, 24, was acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks on May 11, 2012 as the player to be named later in the trade that sent INF JOSH BELL to Arizona on April 21. In 28 relief outings for Double-A Bowie, Belfiore was 5-1 with a 2.85 ERA (47.1IP, 15ER). Belfiore also pitched in the Arizona Fall League and was 1-1 with a 4.38 ERA (12.1IP, 6ER) in 12 outings and was also chosen to play in the Rising Stars Game. Belfiore was selected by the Diamondbacks in the first round (45th overall) in the 2009 First Year Player Draft out of Boston College.
 
Drake, 25, appeared in three games for Bowie, going 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA (18.0IP, 3ER). He missed most of 2012 after having right shoulder surgery. He was selected in the 43rd round of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft out of the United States Naval Academy.
 
With these moves, the Orioles now have 40 players on their major league roster.
