Second base seems to be a black hole for the Orioles this season, swallowing players up, never to be seen again. And there are no slam dunk options in sight at the minor league level right now either.
Through the first 42 games of the season, Orioles second basemen as a group have hit .206/.268/.348 with five doubles, five home runs, 12 RBI, three steals, 11 walks, 45 strikeouts, and a .615 OPS.
Before the regular season began, Fangraphs ranked Baltimore 28th out of 30 MLB clubs in their positional power rankings at second base.
