The Orioles have a good outfield. It may defy belief that any part of a team with only 40 wins as August draws to a close is even approaching “good,” but it’s true. As a group, they have produced 113 wRC+, the third-best mark among MLB outfields, and have been worth 7.4 fWAR, ninth-best.
Cedric Mullins deserves much (almost all) of the praise showered upon the outfield, of course. But we should not totally discount what has been a productive season for Austin Hays, especially defensively, when healthy, or the sporadic power of 2020’s Most Valuable Oriole, Anthony Santander, who has battled his own injury much of the summer.
