The Baltimore Orioles have taken home at least one award this year. Well, maybe more like two. This evening it was announced that Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman had won 2023 AL Silver Slugger awards.
Anthony Santander was also a finalist, but fell short. Rutschman had the highest BA and OPS amongst all finalists at catcher. Henderson won it as a utility player, narrowly beating out Tampams Issac Paredes.
These are expected to be the first of many awards for Oriole players this year. They may have fallen short of the ultimate goal, but it illustrates once again that the future is bright.

Welcome to Birdland Crush! Yes folks, for the record it's a spin off of the popular summer beverage native to the Mid-Atlantic Region - "orange crush." Nevertheless, I've been covering Orioles' baseball since 2009 in some capacity, and it's basically the greatest gig of all time so far as I'm concerned! But for those who aren't familiar with my work or bio, I'm familiar with pretty much every sport out there. But baseball is king - we all know that. So my hope is that you come back and check in after every Orioles' game, and throughout the off-season. I'm always on duty!
