Ryan O’Hearn’s career is one of the more interesting ones among active MLB players.
After struggling through the first five years of his career with the Royals to the tune of a .219/.293/.390 slashline, he found a mid-career renaissance with the Orioles. After hitting .289 in 2023 (his first season in Baltimore) and slugging 15 home runs in 2024, O’Hearn reached a new level in 2025.
Along with posting a .283/.374/.463 slashline with 13 home runs and 43 RBI in 94 games with the Orioles, O’Hearn was traded to the Padres at the trade deadline exchange alongside Ramón Laureano in exchange for a whopping six minor leaguers.
