Gunnar Henderson is a former 2019 second-round, 42nd overall pick out of Alabama. He has the five-star making tools of an everyday shortstop.
He has recently come out and said that Henderson will be participating in his first-ever Team USA World Baseball Classic which seems to get better by the year. Last time, it came down to the final out between Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani.
Trout, as ruthlessly hard he worked, struck out in the waning seconds of the 2023 World Baseball Classic, between Japan. This year is a new collection of talent other than Trout.
Henderson has grown leaps and bounds by becoming AL Rookie of the Year and 2024 MLB All-Star. Last year, was not so much the Baltimore Oriole’s year and how could they be blamed with the reconstruction of Camden Yards, Corbin Burnes, and injuries.
(I really feel like Burnes was the devil of all stingers).
But, look what Baltimore did to set themselves up for 2026, ‘27, ‘28. They acquired Shane Baz!
Baz is the type of leader with a high-enough ceiling to his resume to catapult— the Orioles successes at sealing or delivering. Baz adds to the starting rotation of Trevor Rodgers and Kyle Bradish to vigorously compete with his average pitching velocities tapping out to league averages.
Most of all, eyes will be on Gunnar Henderson to prove what he is capable of March and into three years under team control.
