Keith Law has ranked all 30 MLB teams' farm systems, with the Baltimore Orioles topping the list due to their deep pool of position players and emerging pitching prospects. The Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Chicago Cubs round out the top five, with each team showcasing a mix of potential superstars, high-end pitching, and promising young talent. The rankings consider players currently in the system and their potential impact on the major league.
The Atlanta Braves rank 26th in Baseball America's farm system rankings, with a notable strength in pitching but a lack of impact position player depth. While the team has made strides in international signings, they still lack players ready to contribute to a winning roster in the near future. Despite an improvement from last season, the Braves will need more emerging players to maintain their current ranking.
