Four of the Orioles’ top 10 prospects, including Samuel Basallo and Enrique Bradfield Jr., will be nonroster invitees to spring training.

Alcántara could be this spring’s Albert Suárez, a non-roster invitee last spring who ended up playing a key role on the injury-ridden Orioles pitching staff. Alcántara made a dozen major league appearances in 2016 and 2017 but, like Suárez, pitched in South Korea and Japan.

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Thursday that catching prospect Samuel Basallo will be a non-roster invite at major-league spring training this year. Per MLB Pipeline, Basallo is the No. 13 prospect in all of baseball for the 2025 season.

The Orioles position player pipeline has slowed after a slew of graduations and trades, but Basallo is one of a handful of elite talents.

The love for Orioles minor league catcher Samuel Basallo keeps growing, with The Athletic’s Keith Law ranking him third yesterday on the site’s top 100 prospects list.Red Sox minor league outfielder Roman Anthony is first and Rangers infielder Sebastian Walcott is second.

Samuel Basallo is coming back to Orioles spring training. The catching prospect was part of big league camp a year ago, at which time he was maybe only the third-most exciting prospect behind Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo.

The Orioles are inviting 26 non-roster players to major league spring training. Some of them are expected, including top prospects catcher Samuel Basallo and outfielders Enrique Bradfield Jr., Dylan Beavers and Jud Fabian.
