Baltimore Orioles fans are no stranger to their team being aggressive with prospect promotions. Adley Rutschman flew through the minor leagues before his promotion in 2022, as did Jackson Holliday ahead of his 2024 promotion. Based on the organization's latest move, that trend could be one that is continuing.
On Tuesday, another highly-regarded Orioles prospect followed along that familiar path when the team announced that prospect Enrique Bradfield Jr. had been promoted to Triple-A Norfolk after spending the start of the season with Double-A.
Although he’s a highly-regarded prospect who represents a new era of Orioles baseball after the promotions of players like Rutschman and Holliday, it’s still a bit surprising to see him move up the ranks given how his 2025 season has gone.
