Kiley McDaniels Orioles Prospects List

[Frobby]

ESPN+ has Kiley McDaniels’ top prospect lists up for all 30 teams.   He ranks the O’s org no. 1 in “overall value” but only no. 10 in “quality depth” (total number of players he rates as better than 40 FV).    Here are the players he rated at 40+ and up:

1. Adley Rutschman, C, 65 FV (1st on the Top 100)
2. Grayson Rodriguez, RHP, 60 FV (8)
3. Colton Cowser, CF, 50 FV (74)
4. D.L. Hall, LHP, 50 FV (94)
5. Gunnar Henderson, SS, 50 FV (96)
6. Coby Mayo, 3B, 50 FV (98)
7. Jordan Westburg, SS, 50 FV (108)
8. Kyle Stowers, RF, 45+ FV
9. Kyle Bradish, RHP, 45+ FV
10. Connor Norby, 2B, 45 FV
11. Drew Rom, LHP, 45 FV
12. Heston Kjerstad, RF, 45 FV
13. Joseph Ortiz, SS, 45 FV
14. Terrin Vavra, 2B, 45 FV
15. Hudson Haskin, CF, 40+ FV
16. Reed Trimble, CF, 40+ FV

He’s picking Trimble as a guy who could break out past his current 40+ rating this year, and Pinto as a guy who could break out beyond 40 FV.

He also listed 13 players at 40 FV and 26 at 35+.

The joy of spring optimism has me dreaming that Diaz can play his way back into this group. And Baumler as well now that he’s healthy.

That group of players (in any order) looks better to me every time I see it.

And I have no problem listing Trimble based on upside. His range of outcomes is huge at this point, but he's kind of an unknown to many even with decent upside.

Nothing at all international on that list. Hopefully those guys make people take notice this year.
