The Baltimore Orioles have announced the tragic passing of promising young talent Luis Guevara, as just 19 years of age, on Tuesday night. 

Guevara passed away after a jet-ski crash on Sunday in Sarasota, Florida, just off the coast of Lido Key, where two water vehicles collided head-on. 

Guevara was signed as an international free agent in January 2023 and was in the middle of his first professional baseball season in the United States. 

‘Luis was a beloved member of our organization, and we are devastated following his tragic passing,’ Orioles general manager Mike Elias said in a statement. ‘Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and teammates, and we ask for their continued privacy during this difficult time.’
