Richie Martin has been given another chance to prove he belongs

There is no doubt that Hunter Harvey leads the Orioles organization in if-he-could-just-stay-healthy’s. It’s a weird stat, and one I just made up, but no one can question Harvey’s numbers in the category. The 2013 first-rounder could approach 10 years worth of IHCJSH’s by the time his career comes to a close. Those are big time numbers.

Richie Martin may never reach Hunter Harvey territory, but the shortstop has certainly seen his fair share of injuries. Baltimore selected Martin with the first pick of the 2018 Rule 5 draft. He struggled mightily at the plate in the first half of 2019, but flashed enough pop after the All-Star break to pique the organization’s interest.
