As the Baltimore Orioles continue to play winning baseball, shortstop Gunnar Henderson continues to make baseball history. The 22-year-old, who is destined for his first All-Star Game this summer, has now done something not done since 2015.
The 22-year-old star went 3-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and an RBI in the loss. He also added two walks. The home run was his 19th of the season, which is tied for second in baseball behind only Aaron Judge of the Yankees.June 2, 2024
Considering that Killebrew and Mathews are Hall of Famers, and Harper is a former MVP who is likely to be a Hall of Famer, that's a great list for Henderson to be on. Rodriguez also would be a Hall of Famer if not for his connection to the Steroid Era of the sport. Henderson, who won Rookie of the Year last year in the American League, is almost certainly headed for his first appearance in the All-Star Game later this summer, and will also likely challenge for the American League MVP.
He's hitting .268 with the 19 homers and 42 RBI. He's also stolen eight bases for the O's, who are 37-20 entering play on Monday. Baltimore will be in action on Monday during a limited MLB slate. They'll take on the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto with first pitch starting at 7:07 p.m. ET.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
