Orioles fans have a new owner and a young, exciting team. They've earned it.
On Wednesday, Major League Baseball's owners unanimously approved billionaire David Rubenstein's purchase of the Baltimore Orioles. Out are the Angelos family, whose ownership of the team had angered fans for years. Now, with a new owner and an exciting young team, those same supporters finally have a fresh start.
The 26-year-old Rutschman was the No. 1 pick in the 2019 MLB Draft and rose through the organization quickly. He made his big league debut in 2022 and acclimated himself well. He's excellent behind the plate and posted an OPS of .806 and a 5.2 WAR as a rookie. In 2023, he took things to another level, firmly establishing himself as baseball's best catcher. He was excellent behind the plate again, and posted an .809 OPS with 20 home runs, 80 RBIs, and 92 walks against 101 strikeouts.
While the Orioles' major league roster is excellent and is already a proven winner, the best is likely still ahead. The consensus top prospect in baseball, Jackson Holliday, was. Holliday was excellent in spring training, slashing .311/.354/.600 after dominating minor league baseball in 2023. He's the team's starting shortstop of the future, and that future isn't far off.
