The Baltimore Orioles' 2026 top 20 prospects are led by Samuel Basallo and Wehiwa Aloy, with a strong farm system that is in the upper third among MLB organizations. Basallo, a catcher with significant power, reached the majors four days after his 21st birthday, while Aloy, a true shortstop with power, has the hard-contact data that many teams seek in the draft. However, the team's 2024 draft class had a rough start, with first-rounder Vance Honeycutt striking out more times in his draft year than any first-round pick in history. The Orioles' 2026 impact is expected to come from Basallo and Beavers, with Basallo possibly spelling Adley Rutschman behind the plate and Beavers as the Opening Day right fielder. The team is also looking for a functional fastball for Juaron Watts-Brown, who has the potential to be a mid-rotation starter.
