MLB’s next dynasty?: Ranking baseball’s 5 best young cores

2. Baltimore Orioles

Everyone is very familiar with Adley Rutschman to this point. The Orioles’ backstop has emerged as the most valuable catcher in the league with his play and his age of 25 years old. Baltimore has had one of the best farm systems in MLB over the past few years and now it is finally reaping the rewards. Gunnar Henderson is coming off a huge month of June and Colton Cowser and Jordan Westburg were recently called up to bolster the back end of the roster. The Orioles still have Jackson Holliday, the No. 1 prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline, yet to come up. 

The main focus for the Orioles should be to get their future ace Grayson Rodriguez clicking on all cylinders.
