Orioles Invite 26 Non-Roster Players to Spring Training, Featuring Basallo, Bradfield Jr.

The Baltimore Orioles have announced their 2025 non-roster invitees for spring training, featuring top prospects such as catcher Samuel Basallo and outfielders Enrique Bradfield Jr., Dylan Beavers, and Jud Fabian. Basallo, ranked as MLB Pipeline's No. 13 prospect, had a strong season in 2024, slashing .289/.355/.465 at Double-A Bowie and making a brief appearance at Triple-A Norfolk. The 20-year-old is expected to contribute to the major league team in the future, potentially facing a positional shift due to Adley Rutschman’s presence at catcher. Alongside Basallo, the invitee list includes several players with major league experience, notably right-handed pitcher Matt Bowman, who had a solid 3.45 ERA with the Orioles last season. The Orioles aim to evaluate these players, with eyes particularly on Basallo's development during training. Overall, this year's spring camp is seen as a pivotal opportunity for emerging talents to showcase their skills.
