Another terrible news hit the Baltimore Orioles, as Brandon Hyde has sorrowfully announced…
Brandon Hyde has announced with regret that the Baltimore Orioles have received more awful news.
Gunnar Henderson, the winner of the American League Rookie of the Year award, will mostly play shortstop this season, according to Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde. Thus, Jackson Holliday, the best prospect in baseball, may have a greater chance of making the Opening Day roster.
As Gunnar Henderson, the current American League Rookie of the Year, prepares for his Tuesday spring training debut, Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde made a significant announcement.
Since Henderson is expected to start at shortstop, Jorge Mateo, an experienced player, is probably going to move into a utility role. He is capable of playing shortstop, second base, and even some outfield. Mateo’s lightning-fast speed might also be an asset for the reigning American League East winners off the bench.
2) Jordan Westburg can now play third base if the team is determined to have him on the Opening Day roster. He debuted in the major leagues last season and is considered one of the organization’s best prospects. It’s hardly a given that he will play third base for this team in the major leagues, despite his prospect pedigree. Other alternatives are Ramon Urias, Tyler Nevin, and Nick Maton.
