Why Are the Baltimore Orioles Struggling to Believe This Season?
His weakness is what happens when Rutschman makes contact – he lacks the pop to collect extra bases on fly balls to the big parts of the park – but his expected metrics and a .229 BABIP suggest he’s simply been one of the more unfortunate hitters in baseball to date. Rutschman’s 127 RV+ doesn’t line up with his top line numbers, but it’s indicative of good process that should be rewarded eventually.
Henderson, a year removed from a fourth-place finish in the sizzling AL MVP race, can sensibly attribute a slow start to injury. His eagerness to return to form, however, might have cost him. His overall RV+ is languishing below average at 82 as June approaches, but his May line is positively 2024-like after a frustrating April.
