Subsequently, on June 28, 2020, Westburg signed with the Orioles, securing a $2.3 million bonus. However, due to the pandemic-induced cancellation of the minor league season in 2020, he did not have the opportunity to participate in any minor league games during that year. Jordan Westburg made his professional debut in 2021, starting with the Delmarva Shorebirds of the Low-A East. He swiftly advanced to the Aberdeen IronBirds of the High-A East on June 1 and later moved up to the Bowie Baysox of the Double-A Northeast in mid-August. Across 112 games with these teams, Westburg impressed with a .285/.389/.479 slash line, 15 home runs, 79 RBIs, 17 stolen bases and 27 doubles. In 2022, he began with Bowie, then joined the Norfolk Tides of the Triple-A International League in June. In 91 games with Norfolk, he hit .273 with 18 home runs and 74 RBIs. Westburg returned to Norfolk for the 2023 season, batting .295/.372/.567 with 18 home runs and 54 RBIs in 67 games.
