Adley Rutschman News
Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman went 3-for-5 with two singles and a grand slam home run in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Royals in Kansas City. The slam cut the Orioles' deficit to 6-4 in the seventh inning, but it would end up being the only runs the O's would push across the plate in the contest. It was just the second home run of the season for the backstop, but he's hitting a solid .297 on the season with 11 RBI and 13 runs scored. After being drafted as the top catcher off the board in fantasy leagues this year, the 26-year-old is nearly holding up his end of the bargain, ranking as the second-highest scoring catcher in Yahoo leagues behind only William Contreras.
Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman will be getting the night off on Friday evening as the O's play host to the Milwaukee Brewers for a three-game set. The All-Star catcher is off to a strong start to the 2024 campaign as he has tallied 13 hits in 12 games and has an overall .271/.333/.313 stat line. Rutschman has yet to hit a home run this season, but that should change fairly quickly, as he launched 20 last season. Rutschman, who has batted in the two-hole all season, will cede that spot to Colton Cowser this evening. James McCann will serve as the backstop and will make his fifth start of the season in a difficult matchup against Freddy Peralta.
Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer in Grapefruit League action against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. The star catcher now has three homers and eight RBI to go along with a .257 batting average this spring. Rutschman has improved in each year of his young big-league career and is coming off a 20 homer, 80 RBI campaign. In addition to his healthy power numbers, he hit a respectable .277. The 26-year-old is entrenched in the No. 1 spot behind the dish in all formats and the combination of a rare position and top tier lineup work to his advantage when considering him in upcoming drafts.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman has started his career on a very strong note, consistently posting a wRC+ of at least 120 and scoring 70 runs in each of his first two seasons. The young phenom earned his first Silver Slugger award thanks to a .277/.374/.435 slash line, hitting 20 home runs and driving in 80 RBIs. Rutschman's peripheral stats were impressive, placing him in the top 10 percent for expected batting average. Batting at the top of Baltimore's lineup, his elite ability to draw walks and limit strikeouts sets the table for the rest of the productive Orioles' offense. The 25-year-old finished in the top 10 in AL MVP voting in 2023 and is poised to be a force in the league for years to come. Heading into 2024, he is projected to be the top catching option, thanks to his well-rounded ability to get hits, score runs, and drive in runs. With an average ADP of around 45, his upside as an elite catching option could lead managers to reach for him in 2024. Regardless, Rutschman enters 2024 aiming to add another elite year to his resume.
