As the Orioles continue to bottom out at the major league level, praise keeps coming in for the work they’re doing to change that on the farm.
Baseball America released its updated farm system rankings with the Orioles at their highest station ever: No. 2, behind only the Seattle Mariners. This comes on the heels of FanGraphs dubbing them the top farm system in baseball.
The improvement comes down to top-end talents like Adley Rutschman and Grayson Rodriguez, but also improved depth. That was on display with a raft of promotions that make all four of their full-season affiliates chock full of prospect talent.
