Surveying the minors -- Aberdeen IronBirds catcher Brian Bent
The Orioles selected catcher Brian Bent in the 44th round of the 2005 MLB
draft from the Community College of Baltimore County at Catonsville.
Bent hit .164 (12-for-73) in 22 games for the Aberdeen IronBirds this season.
He had three doubles and four RBIs, but struck out 28 times. Last season,
Bent had a .172 batting average in 22 games for Aberdeen. He batted .283 with
six RBIs and nine runs scored in 16 games for the Bluefield Orioles during
his first professional season in 2006.
The 6-foot-2, 205-pound catcher played in junior college for two years before
being drafted. Bent, who is celebrating his 23rd birthday today, attended
Delaware Tech and Catonsville for one season each.
Before playing in junior college, the Ellicott City native starred for Mount
St. Joseph High School. Bent played at the varsity level during all four
years of high school and he was a teammate of Chicago White Sox starting
pitcher Gavin Floyd during his first two seasons with the Gaels.
As a senior in high school, Bent was a first-team All-Metro selection by The
Baltimore Sun. He was 7-1 with a 0.84 ERA in 58 1/3 innings for the Gaels in
2003. Offensively, Bent led Mount St. Joseph with five home runs and 31 RBIs.
