You don’t have to look very far for signs that the Orioles farm system remains robust even with recent graduations to the MLB level. The recent MLB Pipeline top 100 prospect update has seven Orioles prospects on it, and two of them have been selected to play in this year’s edition of the All-Star Futures Game, which will be played as part of the All-Star festivities in Seattle on July 8.
The two Orioles prospects heading to the game this year are last year’s #1 overall pick, Jackson Holliday, and 2020’s #2 overall pick, Heston Kjerstad. That’s double the number of Orioles prospects to be on the American League futures roster compared to last year, when Gunnar Henderson was the only guy.
