Building off Monday’s column in which I ranked the Top-11 prospects currently in the Baltimore Orioles minor league system, today I wanted to spotlight several players worthy of acknowledgement. While the organizations’ farm system is currently in the bottom third compared with the other 29 franchises, Baltimore has some prospect depth often ignored by the general public. These are five names outside of my current Top-11 that project as major leaguers and could breakout in 2016.

Parker Bridwell RHP

A part of Orioles’ prospect lists for several years now, Bridwell appears to be suffering a bit of prospect fatigue this winter. The 24-year-old Bridwell was selected by Baltimore in the 9th round in 2010 and the prototypically built 6-4 190lbs righty possesses a solid 3-pitch arsenal. Bridwell throws a heavy 91-94mph fastball, a 79-82mph slider with some tilt and a 78-82mph changeup with solid vertical movement. Bridwell made quality strides last season at Double-A, striking out 93 hitters over 97 innings. He might eventually move to the bullpen in an effort to help avoid the disabled list and could see Baltimore sometime in 2016.

Gray Fenter RHP

Baltimore’s 7th round selection in the 2015 Draft, Fenter received a $1 million bonus to spurn Mississippi State and turn professional. Listed at 6-0 210lbs Fenter features a 90-94mph fastball, touching 96mph, along with a devastating curveball and a poor changeup. The 20-year-old will be developed as a starting pitcher, but his height and lack of a cambrio could make him a future reliever. Fenter should begin this season at Low-A Delmarva and could explode up prospect rankings this year.

Gunkel was acquired this summer as part of the Alejandro De Aza trade with the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore did well to receive this 24-year-old righty. Using a low three-quarters release point, Gunkel features a 89-92mph fastball with excellent armside movement, an 80-82mph slider with average potential and a fringe-average low-80s changeup. He profiles as a groundball-inducing middle reliever who is devilish against righties because of the deception with his delivery.

Josh Hart CF

Baltimore’s 1st round pick, 37th overall in 2013, Hart was selected as a raw high school athlete with outstanding tools and unrefined baseball skills. Nearly three years later, Hart is still struggling to perform offensively, as evidenced by his .255/.282/.311 batting line in 2015 with 30 stolen bases in 45 attempts.

However, the 21-year-old Hart has been extremely young compared to his competition and he still profiles as a major league quality defender due to his pure speed, athleticism and reasonable throwing arm. Questions certainly still surround his ability to hit and he has done little to silence his critics, but considering his obvious skills, he is still young enough to develop into an elite centerfielder who creates chaos on the bases. Baltimore would be wise to let Hart repeat High-A in 2016 and if his offensive skills begin to catch up to his uber-athleticism, he could skyrocket up prospect rankings next winter.

Ryan McKenna OF

The almost 19-year-old Ryan McKenna was Baltimore’s 4th round pick last summer from a high school in New Hampshire, not exactly a hot-bed of high school baseball. A well-built 5-9 175lbs, McKenna is an obvious athlete with plus speed and the instincts to develop into a quality defensive centerfielder. McKenna is a raw right-handed hitter with solid bat speed and projects to hit for some power in the future. He should begin this season in extended spring training and lead the outfield in short season Aberdeen beginning in June.
