When fans think of the Baltimore Orioles think about the team's current farm system, some names pop up more quickly than others. Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers are still technically prospects who are getting a lot of attention now that they are in the big leagues, and it is certainly true that Orioles fans are eager to see how their vaunted 2025 draft class turns out. One name that doesn't come up all that often (but should) is left-handed pitching prospect Luis De Leon.
De Leon was signed several years ago as an international free agent, and it appeared as though he was headed towards flaming out of the minor leagues thanks to problems with his command.
