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.
