For a franchise built on the backs of its young stars, September could’ve been the stage where Gunnar Henderson re-established himself as the face of the Baltimore Orioles’ resurgence. Instead, what’s unfolded so far has been the exact opposite. Through the first week of the month, the Silver Slugger looks more like a ghost in the batter’s box than the MVP-caliber shortstop fans have come to expect. In seven September games as of September 11, Henderson has managed just two hits in 25 at-bats, slashing an anemic .080/.258/.080 while striking out seven times — already half of his total from the entire month of July.
