Adley Rutschman’s debut flipped the script in Baltimore. Kyle Bradish made for a palatable appetizer, but few prospects have symbolically represented the future quite like Rutschman.
Rutschman may still be adjusting to major league pitching, but his arrival signaled a changing of the guard. It also increased the hunger for more top prospects wearing black and orange. Fans could smell a Grayson Rodriguez debut before he suffered a strained lat, but Kyle Stowers arrived this week to satisfy everyone’s appetite for now.
Even with Rodriguez sidelined, D.L. Hall appears destined for Baltimore this summer. Reports of early success for Gunnar Henderson and Jordan Westburg have everyone wondering how soon the duo could make the jump.
