It was really only a matter of time for Adley Rutschman. Since being drafted as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 MLB draft, the clock has been ticking to the moment he’d finally get his shot to play in the majors.
Rutschman is a potential star for baseball. He’s the reward for Orioles fans after their dreaded 2019 season. They’re not as bad as they once were today, but at 16-24 they could certainly use an infusion of talent. They’re hoping Rutschman is that for them.
Obviously, it’s taken a while to get here given that the COVID-19 pandemic paused baseball for a while. But the moment is here. And it couldn’t have been sweeter.
We got a glimpse at the moment Rutschman got his call up and the joy he was overcome with was completely visible.

After his manager tells him “you’re going to Camden Yards and you’re going to play in the big leagues for the first time,” his face just lights up.
And then his teammates come out to hype him up and it’s just an awesome moment, man. This is what it’s all about.
Fans were so happy Rutschman was finally getting his moment.
