Five Orioles prospects are in the Baseball America Top 100. The next step? Getting a homegrown infielder on the list.

Monday’s release of the annual Top 100 prospect rankings from industry leaders Baseball America brought some good news for the Orioles, who had five of their best young players listed among the brightest future stars in the game.

Top prospect Adley Rutschman was No. 2 overall, with right-hander Grayson Rodriguez No. 22, left-hander DL Hall No. 59, and outfielders Heston Kjerstad and Ryan Mountcastle checking in at No. 62 and No. 63, respectively.

It was an honor for each in its own way. Rutschman is behind only the returning top prospect in Tampa Bay’s Wander Franco, while Rodriguez and Hall are the sixth- and 22nd-best pitchers on the chart.
