The Orioles’ bullpen was the unit that underwent the most change throughout the 2025 season. Injuries and poor performance reshuffled the pen at the beginning of the season.

When Aron Estrada’s 2024 season in review was posted here on Camden Chat, Mark Brown called him the best Orioles prospect you don’t know yet.

In an Orioles system that has brought a slew of top young players to the majors in recent years, Enrique Bradfield Jr. is a different kind of prospect. He doesn’t have the #1 overall pick pedigree of Adley Rutschman or Jackson Holliday. He doesn’t have the power potential of Colton Cowser, Jordan Westburg, or Coby […]

The Orioles system features several talented pitchers that could potentially debut in 2026 but cannot be counted as a sure thing quite yet.
