Three prospects who could be key contributors for O’s in ’27

Baltimore Orioles prospects Luis De León, Michael Forret, and Enrique Bradfield Jr. are highlighted as potential key contributors for the Major League club in 2027. De León made his MLB debut as a reliever in September 2026, posting a 1.93 ERA across eight appearances, though manager Craig Albernaz confirmed the team plans to give him every opportunity to develop as a starter.

Forret, reacquired from Tampa Bay in August 2026, is considered close to MLB-ready and will compete for rotation innings early in 2027. Meanwhile, outfield prospect Bradfield is projected to make his big-league debut next season following a solid Triple-A campaign featuring 36 stolen bases, with president of baseball operations Mike Elias indicating he expects to see him in Baltimore.
