Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson catches a line drive at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on April 26, 2023. (Karl Merton Ferron/Baltimore Sun Staff) What can’t Gunnar Henderson do? The Orioles shortstop has enjoyed a breakout season in 2024, emerging not just as a candidate for the American League Most Valuable Player Award but also as a linchpin for an organization that expects to be perennial playoff contenders for the foreseeable future.
Henderson boasts tantalizing home run power, strong instincts on the bases and a defensive skill set that can fill a highlight reel. Only 23 years old, Henderson has already captured Baltimore’s attention and that of baseball fans around everywhere. He was among the leading vote-getters for a starting spot in this year’s MLB All-Star Game, the annual midsummer gathering of the sport’s best players.
In true humble Henderson fashio.
