From BP's 2026 Prospects: Baltimore Orioles Top Prospects:


10. Boston Bateman

Pos: LHP
Born: 2005-09-20
B: Right
T: Left
H: 6′ 8″
W: 240 lbs.
History: Drafted by the San Diego Padres in the second round of the 2024 draft, Adolfo Camarillo HS (Camarillo, CA); signed for $2.5 million. Acquired from the Padres for Ryan O’Hearn and Ramon Laureano.
Previous Rank: #6 (org, SDP)

The Report: One of a slew of Padres prospects sent to Baltimore at the deadline, all of whom sound like Western Hockey League alums, Bateman is the best of the lot. He’s a huge lefty that pops 95 from a pretty easy motion given his size and from a rather standard three-quarters arm slot. It’s not an overpowering pitch, but given his height and the weird angles he can create, it should be effective enough. Bateman’s mid-80s, short, boring slider is his best offspeed, although I wonder if that might not be better off tweaked or teased out into more of a sweeper shape. His change-up is around where you’d expect a 19-year-old prep arm’s, a bit too firm to really be useful. Bateman had a steady 2025 season, and got to High-A after being a second round high school pick. But while he’s advanced for his age, there doesn’t appear to be a ton more coming in terms of projection, and from here on out it will be more about fiddling with secondary shapes and refining fastball command.

OFP: 50 / no. 4 starter
