The top end of the Orioles’ farm system is filled with talent.
Four of the top 10 prospects in the system, according to MLB Pipeline, were selected in this year’s MLB Draft. Two, Esteban Mejia and Nate George, were unranked entering 2025, but burst onto the scene with incredibly impressive seasons. Boston Bateman, the team’s No. 9 prospect, was acquired from the Padres at the trade deadline.
While those seven players have plenty of upside, none are expected to see a big league field until at least 2028.
The opposite is the case for the top two prospects down on the farm, Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers, who should break camp with Baltimore and graduate from their prospect status within just a few weeks of the season’s start.
So, rounding things out, two prospects are in the big leagues already, and seven are a long way away from it. That accounts for nine of the top 10.
