Friday Bird Droppings: Adley and Gunnar are Silver Sluggers

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Here’s a phrase you’re going to be hearing a lot of in the next few years: Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson have earned some awards.

The Orioles’ two high-profile young studs both took home an AL Silver Slugger Award last night for the best hitting performance at their position, with Rutschman winning for catcher and Henderson for the utility category. (Anthony Santander was also a Silver Slugger finalist in the outfield, but didn’t win.) This marks the first time since 2013 that the O’s have had multiple Silver Sluggers in one season.

The honors were well deserved.
