MLB.com looks at the Orioles MiL system

Solid article for anyone who didn’t know too much about our system. But nothing really new here for those of us who follow it closely.

Nice piece but we all know what my take-away was.

I hadn't seen that information before.

I know Drew Rom is from Kentucky but what league is this article talking about?

Drew Rom (No. 23) is in Florida after playing competitive games in Kentucky in a league that featured former Major Leaguers Brandon Phillips and Eric Young Jr.

I am pretty sure  Cumberland was not at the Alternate Training Site in Bowie this summer if that is what this is trying to say.

At the Bowie site, the 22-year-old backstop got to hit against and put down signs for pitchers who were further along in their development, even some Major Leaguers, than the type of arms he’d likely have seen with Class A Advanced Frederick.

Rutschman was part of a leadership group of players -- with Henderson, Brett Cumberland, Isaac Mattsonand Brian Gonzalez -- tasked with finding ways to develop a winning culture across all levels of the system.

You are correct.   https://www.masnsports.com/steve-melewski/2020/09/these-three-on-os-farm-looked-to-improve-even-without-games.html   I guess he is talking about Fall Instructs.

Thanks.  I missed that one.  Good to see what Rom and Hanifee are doing.

Really can't wait to see when some of the international guys are starting to make noise.  It's good that we've got a decently regarded system without much presence from international prospects but the system will have a real shot in the arm once a few of these guys start to produce.

[Frobby]

We’d probably know a lot more right now if they’d actually played a season this year.    I’m hoping Tony can ferret out some honest information about what the guys who made it to Fall Instructs are showing.

They were talking about young international players and it mentions Luis Ortiz and Ofelky Peralta.  From reading previous comments by Blood, I'm assuming he either misspoke or the writer got the second name wrong.  Pretty sure it's Luis Sanchez who reportedly touches mid 90's as a 17-18 yo.

Could be talking about Luis Ortiz the now 18 yo we signed for $400 in 2019. He’s showed well at instructs according to some reports. Sanchez has also done well too as you’ve mentioned.
