2022 Orioles Prospects Power Rankings (Top 40)

[Tony-OH]

Notes: Think of these rankings like an unofficial prospect rankings that will be adjusted throughout the year. To be eligible for the rankings, a player must still be considered a rookie by MLB standards and assigned to a minor league team. Players placed on injured lists are eligible once they have played in 2022. Rankings will be updated every Monday. Rankings will be expanded to 40 when FCL and DSL seasons open up.

Where would you put Velez, just acquired from the Marlins?   Is he below our bubble guys?

[glenn__davis]

I had totally forgot about Servideo.  He certainly should have been back by now.  Obviously Tony has the question mark by his name above, anyone else have news?

Once he's assigned I'd have him at 26.

Looking forward to how this list shifts over the year!  Especially those after Norby at #9.

Do you think Prieto will get some SS reps?  Sounds like Norby is a 2B with no real shot at SS.

Hoping Pinto can bully his way up the list (beyond attrition)!

T.T. Bowens rockets to the top of the list with a 2.167 OPS.  I'm kidding, but I do have a serious question for @Tony-OH.  If an org guy keeps putting up big numbers at higher levels, how do you determine if he has become a prospect?  What do you look for to figure out if he is a late bloomer like Luke Scott, or just a guy who can hammer minor league competition like Lou Montanez?

If he starts hitting consistently at a high level you have to relook him. I had to relook Mancini when he looked like a org guy after Delmarva. Bowens has some good power and moves ok for a big guy. The swing was long and bit slow to me last year, but I'll obviously keep watching him to see if he's made some changes.

We've talked a bit about Creed Williams not being assigned to a full season roster, looks like Ian Moller a 4th rd catcher from the Rangers also didn't make full season ball. Maybe it's a catcher thing? I think I remember reading something last year about Catcher development taking longer due to the defense? Or they're both not great prospects

Haskin starting the season hot at AA.

I don’t see him back in the lineup tonight, am hoping he didn’t really hurt himself sliding head-first the other night and being taken out.

First update of the year

Thanks Tony, I know you prefer Coby to Gunnar, but did you give any consideration to moving them around given Coby's slow start to the year, while Gunnar is holding his own at double-A?

[UMDTerrapins]

Love this feature Tony!  Just as Greg Cullen became my mega dark horse prospect last year, this year it’s Cole Uvila. I love pitching mechanics and his are about as weird as you’ll ever see, so I really can’t explain why I’ve latched onto him. Though he does have three nice pitches in his arsenal. I just can’t look away.

How close is Westburg to passing some people in front of him (Stowers, Gunnar, Hall, Cowser, Mayo)?

[Aristotelian]

Why did Alex Wells go down? 0.00 ERA in AAA and MLB to start the year.
