Gunnar Henderson: Rising Star in MLB
22-Year-Old Shortstop Making Waves
BALTIMORE (AP) -
Gunnar Henderson, the 22-year-old shortstop for the Baltimore Orioles, continues to impress in his rookie season. Henderson hit his major league-leading 15th home run on Tuesday night, helping the Orioles to a victory over the Kansas City Royals. He is now the youngest player in MLB history to lead the league in home runs at any point of the season.
Henderson was drafted by the Orioles in 2019 and made his MLB debut in 2022. He quickly established himself as one of the top prospects in the league, and was named the Orioles' Opening Day shortstop in 2023.
In addition to his power hitting, Henderson is also a gifted fielder. He has made several spectacular plays at shortstop this season, and is quickly becoming one of the best defensive shortstops in the league.
Henderson's success is a bright spot for the Orioles, who are rebuilding after a disappointing 2022 season. He is a key part of the team's future, and is expected to be a star for years to come.
