The Baltimore Orioles, which currently maintain the best farm system in the Major League Baseball, have produced the first-ever Baseball America top spot for three consecutive years.
Baseball America, a U.S. baseball prospect evaluation agency, selected and announced TOP100 prospects ahead of the opening of the 2024 season on the 18th (Korea time).
Shortstop Jackson Holliday (21), son of Matt Holliday and dubbed the future MVP, won the honor of the top prospect overall. 랭크카지노도메인
Baltimore became the first team to produce the best prospects for three consecutive years, following Adley Ruchman (26) in 2022 and Gunner Henderson (23) last year.
Samuel Basalo (20), a promising catcher of the Baltimore Orioles, ranked 10th overall. As a result, there is a good chance that Baltimore will continue to produce top prospects for four consecutive years.
Holiday, who topped the list in the announcement, was selected by Baltimore in the first round of the 2022 MLB Rookie Draft. After two seasons, he reached Triple-A.
Notably, Holiday started the last season from Single A to Top Single A, Double A, and Triple A. The OPS in the four leagues amounts to 0.941.
As a result, Holiday was selected as Baltimore’s best minor leaguer and previously ranked first in the 2023 midseason prospect rankings.
He will make his Major League debut in the 2024 season. Attention is already focusing on how Holiday, who is highly anticipated as a top prospect, will look like.
In this announcement, Baltimore, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, and San Diego Padres included six prospects in the TOP 100.
In addition, the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers, and St. Louis Cardinals included five players, followed by six teams, including the Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Seattle Mariners.
The Kansas City Royals, on the other hand, failed to make it to the top 100. This means that not only are their current performances bad, but they also have no future.
