2022 Baltimore Orioles Top MLB Prospects

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ORIOLES TOP 10 PROSPECTS

The third season of a deliberate rebuild under executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias brought another year of losing in the big leagues. The Orioles lost an MLB-high 110 games and will draft No. 1 overall in 2022. 

But Elias promised they’d work tirelessly to build an elite talent pipeline to Camden Yards, not provide a quick turnaround in the majors, and they’re certainly on track for the former.

High draft picks and large bonus pools over the last few years have yielded some of their top hitting prospects Today, we unveil the 10 best prospects in the Orioles system.
