#1: Gunnar Henderson A well-rounded player with few weaknesses, Gunnar Henderson has the speed, strength and athleticism to impact the game in multiple ways and is ready for a starring role with the Baltimore Orioles after making his major league debut last year. baseballamerica.com/rankings/2023-…
Defensive stalwart! SS Mark Belanger anchored the Baltimore Orioles infield from late 1960s thru 70s. He won 8 GG & helped Birds to 4 pennants & WS title in '70. His career defensive WAR (39.5) is second only to Ozzie Smith. @sabrBioProject sabr.org/bioproj/person…
