After years of a mediocre, if not a downright bad minor league system, the Orioles depth has improved greatly. It helps when you draft number one overall but based on the changes the Orioles made to incorporate more analytics into the development process, several of their players took a big step forward.
Don’t get me wrong, there is still significant work left to do to improve their organization, but the Major League team looked better and there was talent in Bowie, the location of their Alternate Site last season. I still see a rebuild of at least another three years, maybe longer, but I do like the start.
