Behind the Biscuits: Michael Forret
MONTGOMERY, Ala (WAKA)- After one season of JUCO baseball at State College of Florida, Manatee- Sarasota, Michael Forret was off to the professional ranks. During the 2023 draft, Michael was drafted in the 14th round as the 421st pick by the Baltimore Orioles.
Michael would be with the Orioles Organization for two seasons until he was traded to the Rays in December 2025. Now with the Rays Michael has a chance to have his story go full circle, if and when he gets the call up to the bigs, he’ll head back to Florida where he played college ball.
“It is really cool now to think that if and when I make my debut and everything, I’m going to be so close to where I spent my college time and everything which will be awesome,” explains Forret.
Michael is currently listed as #8 on the Rays prospect list.
You can catch Michael and the rest of the Biscuits at home next week as they return for a series with the Smokies.
