The Baltimore Orioles aren’t known for their player development. Not a ton of major league teams necessarily are, but seeing as it’s one of the most important factors in building a competitive organization, you’d think that more teams would focus on it.
However, the Orioles have consistently held farm systems which rank in the lower third of MLB, they don’t spend money in the international market, and they don’t spend money wisely in the MLB free agent market.
At this point, the Baltimore Orioles aren’t known for much at all. But September and October bring us both the Arizona Fall League and the instructional league, where teams can spotlight their prospects and give those selected players a bit more development time before calling it a season.
