Mistakes to Note
9:37 - Typo, should say 2023 - Sport
Funnily enough, I think part of the reason he doesn’t get talked about as much as he should is because of Adley’s call-up the previous year. He got the chance to show himself first, and so people associate him with being the “leader” of the O’s new young crop.
That, and also being a switch-hitting catcher is really cool. Being a catcher who’s good on both sides period has people calling him the catcher of the 2020’s, as Buster Posey was for the 2010’s and Joe Mauer was for the 2000’s.
I mean he won the AL ROY.. he was talked about
He’s not very popular even to this day and I’m not sure why. He is an absolute superstar. But when you have adley getting called up and then Jackson holliday being there the headlines get filled. Not fair cause he is baltimores diamond in the rough
This man could have hit for the cycle but took the extra base hit instead. 2 doubles, a triple, and Homer. He got the single and stretched it out to a double.
Kinda dumb
It’s rarer
He’s an aggressive base runner, turning routine singles into doubles many times! Just 1 of 100’s of reasons he’ll be MVP contender every season in next decade! Already respected 🫡 & feared 😱by AL East teams, or all MLB teams!
Having 4+ hits in a game, especially 4+ XBH hits is extremely impressive!
If in a game the O’s winning by 10+ runs & just needs a single for cycle 1st Base coach holds him at 1st so he achieves the cycle! It’s a good move for the achievement but would feel it wasn’t natural as it should be!
Ironically a player with 3+ hits in game and are a single away from cycle, after already toughest hits: HR & Triple (toughest one) with a double, just needing a base hit/single seems to be more common occurrence! Or maybe being a triple away is isn’t brought up like being a single away? Apologies for not having stats (will look it up & find out which hit is most commonly final one needed for cycle).
Don't get me wrong a cycle is great achievement! But 4+ XBH hits is even more impressive! 4+ HR in a game is historic!! Will look up if anyone has had 3-4 triples in a game? That’s most rare Achievement, if it’s ever happened??
4 Triples have been achieved 3 times in MLB history: Twice over a century ago in late 1800's George Strief with the Philadelphia Athletics of the American Association in 1885 and Bill Joyce with the New York Giants of the NL in 1897 !
@@kurtwagner350trying to help the team win over a personal stat is dumb?
Butterfly effect: the Sox are at least $40 million above the tax threshold in 2018 and were docked 10 spots in the 2019 MLB Draft, as a result the orioles were now one spot ahead of Boston to select Gunnar instead of 9 behind
butterfly effect isnt a thing in baseball. what teams do years earlier have nothing to do with other teams years later. teams players draft isnt butterfly effect regarding where they land up years later. stop projecting
@@nomercyinc6783this is just completely wrong
@@nomercyinc6783 The cherry on top of this blatantly false comment is the fact you clearly don’t know what the word “projecting” means

THANK YOU FOR THE GUNNAR LOVE!!! This guy is an absolute beast and deserves more love than he gets IMO he’s a 5 tool player and will only get better
(Diehard Oakland A’s fan lmao)
I can’t wait to see what Gunnar does this year, he’s going to be an absolute stud for years to come!
No one knows because everyone keeps making videos on the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers and Padres. This is the only video on the 2023 Orioles a well known baseball youtuber has made.
So thank you. This platform has the potential to inform a lot of people. But if it gets watered down, no one learns anything
Every channel should be permabanned for posting padres content. They're so finished it's embarrassing we're about to watch them fight for 3-5 in the div for the next 10 years, not to mention the fact they have had to borrow money to pay their players. If i was the owner i would probably die too.
As a jays fan, definitely noticed. Keeps me up at night.
runs are definitely a team stat, its not entirely a team stat, but team is a big part of it. its like looking at rbi and saying, well, look, theyre all great players, has nothing to do with teams
You're damn right he's a superstar! I'm betting he fights for the MVP this year with Shohei in the NL!
thats probably one of the worst possible bets you could make since the orioles would never trade him to the NL haha
@@Rtocon No I mean there's no one I can see that could beat him for the MVP this year.
@@CharmCityGamerI’m an orioles fan but soto, Aaron judge, Bobby witt just a few names that you might wanna consider
@@danteandkyler7954 Oh they'll be in contention for sure, no doubt, but I'm confident Gunnar's gonna pop off big time.
100% Agree. Gunnar will be in top 5 of MVP votes this season. With Mountcastle, Santander, Hayes, and a healthy Mullins batting behind him, Gunnar will see a lot of good pitches to launch.
I think everyone in the AL East has noticed the type of player Gunnar is. He is going to be special for sure.
Gunnar is the Orioles version of Chase Utley. Underrated, understated, well rounded. Hopefully new ownership will do what's best for the future and keep him and Adley around for years to come.
Been tracking Gunnar's career since I got to see his AAA days in Norfolk. Kid's an absolute STUD and plays the embodiment of the Oriole way. The late Brooks Robinson would be proud!
The comma in the title should be a semicolon because you have two independent clauses.
Good vid btw
🤓
I was high on both the orioles and Dbacks going into last year so I felt validated about my ball knowledge however I actually didn’t realize how great of a season Gunnar had last year
My favorite gunnar stat is while playing in Oakland. He should have hit for the cycle. Top of the 8th a single short of the cycle. He hits a screamer down the 1st base line. He didn't stop at first and hustled to 2nd for 4 Xtra base hits. All while in a blow out game. He plays the game hard every play every game. Great young talent can't wait to see where his career goes from here.
I love the Crash Bandicoot music in the background LOL
Can u imagine if for the next decade we can keep this young core? Gunnar, Adley, Mounty, g-rod, kremer, Santander, westy, Jackson, Heston, Cowser, Mayo???? We will be unstoppable!!!
Nice Video!
I think the biggest reason for him being so overlooked is because of his slow start, and the fact that the Orioles have a loaded farm system with the likes of Jackson Holliday and Adley being two premier prospects as well
as a diehard Orioles fan I’ll say a guy slept on even more is Josh Jung. dude would’ve given Gunnar a run for his money in ROTY voting had he stayed healthy
baltimore noticed! lets go gunnar! hes a beast!
i think the premise that the roy gets no credit is completely flawed
Was not expecting a Dr. Dreidel reference🤯
Also, great video!
This might be the smartest man on youtube
As an OOTP player, we already know.
i went to high school with him. i was on vasrity when he was on jv. he was better than all of us. i wanted coach to bring him up to varisty but coach said he was to young, not the smartest guy.
Sb looks cool af
He's gonna be a big name for sure, the Orioles farm system has produced some great players
gotta be engagement bait saying runs aren't that team dependent, right? i don't mind, i've already commented once and love your videos, but i mean, they absolutely are. it's no accident that only 3 of top 10 run scorers weren't on 1 of the top 3 teams in total runs. the top 25 average was 8th-highest run scoring team and only four of those finished on a team outside the top half. i get what you're going for to highlight how good base running helps, but runs are undoubtedly a heavily team-dependent stat
Great. Now there's no chance I draft him for a couple bucks again this year.
3:20 tbf it’s hard to win 100 games when the yanks and Sox are tripling your payroll ever year. Js.
Comment on the orioles memes. During the dark days from 18-21 orioles fans dice headfirst into memes because that’s the only joy there was in being a fan. Any thing positive got memes on top of memes. When 2022 then 23 rolled around we had actual success to celebrate and it just kept taking off.
That's a Carlos Beltran swing if I've ever seen one.
Gunnar will be a great player for a long time. Would love to have him on the Brewers. This Orioles Team will be so loaded, hope they’ll win a World Series.
Hey, before you had Free Oakland, we had Free the Birds and it looks like the sale might happen. We just had to wait another 10 or more years... Best of luck to Oakland for sure, the Orioles have been damned by a bad owner for so long.
I’m pretty sure people are talking about Gunnar now; at this point the REAL star in the orioles no one is talking about is Jordan Westburg
Gunnar is a man. Jackson not taking Shortstop from Gunnar Henderson. Hype doesnt equate to Cooperstown,
As a Yankees fan I know who he is
I think everyone in the AL East does as he is fucking phenomenal player
He is the best SS in the division in everything but defense
And his defense is already great
He’s goated on diamond dynasty
Sounds like the man is under appreciated
As an orioles fan. Yes yes IK he’s a superstar
Go O's!
I like laughing at the people who thought Holiday was going to be as good as Henderson. Lol not a chance in hell
De La Cruz got a lot more hype than Gunnar. To the point where after 2 weeks of making it to the majors, MLB The Show updated his face. They didn't do it for Gunnar at all last year. I think I know why, but I'm going to keep that to myself. They finally fixed it for MLB The Show 24. Gunnar flies under the radar on the national mlb level.
Gunnar didn’t get as much hype about being number 1 prospect because he was 1 prospect for such a short period of time, by time he became number 1 prospect the Orioles called him up. Adley Rutchman was number 1 before him and he was the orioles first pick in 2019 draft and Gunnar was the Orioles next pick in that same draft. So Adley kinda over shadowed him, but this kid has super star written all over him, he plays the game 110% every time he steps on the field, another reason he may be over shadowed is he’s very quiet and doesn’t show boat, he lets his play on the field do all his talking and show boating for him. Also it wasn’t Gunnar’s fault we didn’t move in in the playoffs he hit 6-12 .500 p, Hr p, 3 rbi
Jackson Holiday is a superstar... and everyone's noticed. This team's going to be great for years to come.
Ben Shapiro jumpscare!
the glazing is crazy. all ive heard about is gunnar henderson

Gunnar is the reason why the #1 prospect in MLB, Jackson Holliday, won't get to play his natural position this season and will probably have to play 2B to make the team. Gunnar split time evenly between SS and 3B but he's much better at SS than at 3B defensively. He has a much stronger arm than Holliday.
I think all of us O's fans who pay attention to what's going on in the farm system knew long ago.
With the youth movement and the new ownership in Baltimore, things are really looking good for the Orioles.
No love for Adley. He was a #1 prospect giving the Orioles three in a row.
This aged well
Jackson also has a famous dad
bro, not trying to downplay his skill but it was his very first season.... he has a long way to go, no one knows what the future holds.
The fastest a really young player has raised up the ranks and earn widespread acclaim since Juan Soto? So we just gonna ignore the fact that Peña won a World Series, and won both the ALCS & World Series MVP in his Rookie year? Lol
i know he is
He is also the last player to attend a segregated school! 😮
Cj Abrams outpointed him in less at bats and goes 7 rounds later
If he won AL Rookie of the Year; he's a potential AL MVP. These Orioles have a bright future up ahead
He did all this after having a pretty shaky first month or two.
255 batting average .
I legitimately believe he’ll have a better career than adley or Holliday
Sorry but what about Adley Rutchman 😊
Everyone in Baltimore has noticed and yes we cared... A LOT. Gunnar will be the SS of the future for the Os not Jackson. Thats a fact!
The orioles meme community has gotta be near the top of the league
The Orioles will probably take a step back this season, because of the loss of Felix Bautista, but I still see them making the playoffs. It's just not going to be with a record of 32-15 in one run games.
Losing Bautista certainly hurts, but they're better in pretty much every other aspect of baseball. There's probably going to be a lot fewer 1 run games in 2024. Outside of injury, the only reason to think they'll lose more games in 2024 is that winning 100 games in baseball is unlikely even for the best teams.
april 2024?
good eye catching the typo
@@StarkRavingSports can you plz somehow shoutout my channel in a community post
@@StarkRavingSports can i have a shoutout in a community post
He isn't the best atm. Adley is by far the best player on the team currently.....Gunnar has huge potential.
I wonder if IG followers, or lack there of, could be used against a player in arbitration. 🤔
1 year of good is a superstar, do consistent maybe. hes just a rokie last year don't get a head of yourself
2024 mvp
Ok he's good but, DOES HE HAVE AURA
Yea no not yet but he has potential
This video is aging very well
orioles white boy pipeline needs to be analyzed
Put some respek on Felix Bautista, Yennier Cano, and Anthony Santander
baseball became a global sport because of that white boy talent. its a white mans sport. just like hockey
They have a Dominican on the way in Sam Basallo. Also, I think Grayson Rodriguez in Mexican, or at least has Mexican parents. I remember seeing people speculating about him potentially pitching for team Mexico in the WBC.
Who cares what color they are as long as they're good. Take your DEI shit somewhere else.
It is pretty funny tbh. Holliday, Gunnar, Adley, Heston Kjerstad and Kyle Stowers all look like siblings lmao
We’ve noticed his .250 average with triple the amount of strikeouts than walks
I was born an orioles fan and I’ll die and O’s fan, been with them through the thick and thin , both hundred win and hundred loss season, historic losing streaks in 88 that brought up young talent and lead to me shedding my first tears as a fan because we traded my favorite Oriole Steady Eddie to the dodgers but it also led an amazing following year, the why not year, the Cito Sucks campaign my favorite year of baseball ever a year we made one of the most unlikely playoff pushes coming down to the season series finale and just missing out to the eventual world champ super stacked blue jays team, the f&cking Glen Davis trade that tested all are patience, Gregg Olsons amazing curve ball, Mussinas many 1 hitters, alomars brilliance that gets looked over due to one ball of spit , the Albert belle experience, cals streak, my point is I’ve seen it all and watched it all and I’ve never been more excited for an Orioles player and the teams future.
Thank you for bringing some spotlight on Gunnar he’s a household name to Os fans hopefully he’ll be one to baseball fans soon too
That post brings back a lot of memories... which for me started a bit further back with the 1969-1971 teams. I particularly remember being fascinated by the late Mike Cuellar and his offspeed breaking ball style as well as the 1970 Brooks Robinson World Series...
Hopefully a long run of Orioles good times are imminent. 🙂
Im sort of jealous of those who were able to see Frank, Brooks, boog, Al, Paul , grich, Belanger, singleton, Buford, DeCinses, Lou Ap amongst others play in their prime Os Days and being a big fan of pitching im super jealous of all those Os fans that got to see actual Cy young winning seasons and all those 20 game winners we’ve had in the past (hoping Burnes can bring us another Cy young , looking good so far, maybe we can spend some money and extend him for 4-5 years while we’re at it)
The two orioles I got glimpses of in uniform but really wish I was able to see in action especially while in their primes is Earl Weaver Managing, he was so ahead of his time with his pitching, defense and hit 3 run homers strategy basically breaking down baseball to its most basic elements and making it work proving to professional baseball that winning is all about catching the ball, throwing the ball, seeing the ball and hitting the ball… baseball philosophy I’ve used my whole life (my first year as a fan in memory was his last and worst as a manager) and one of my favorite Orioles Rick Dempsey of course I saw him come back in like 92 and again my first year as a fan in memory was his last with the O’s but I mainly remember him with the Dodgers in the World Series and then coming back to the orioles for his last active season and then being a base coach and bullpen coach with us for a bit (I was pissed when they passed him over and gave Mazzilli the manager job in 03 and then again passed him over for manager in like 2010/2011 whenever that was but then again I always loved him as an analyst and commentator so at least theirs a small silver lining their lol)
And I still feel we would of had a mini dynasty if Jeffery Maier didn’t ruin game 1, I mean he helped turn Jeter into a hero, killed Benitez’s confidence early on his career, electrified that whole stadium, took the wind out of our sails, changed the whole momentum of that game and series and I feel like tarasco makes that catch, everything goes like it did we win that game by a run, take game 2 and are up 2-0 taking both games in NY going back to Baltimore up 2-0 which changed the whole series, I mean games 3 and 4 we lost late like 8th inning giving up runs but if we are up 2-0 in the series the feel and strategy of those games changes, the pressure on NY changes how they play, pitch and act I mean the only game we really got creamed was game 5 when they had a 6 run inning on Erickson, I mean game 4 I think was Coppinger and he was shaky but left only down by 1 I think 4-3 or 5-4 so we were in that game and we were scoring in their bullpen many don’t remember that part either but yeah I think we win they we head to the series maybe we stay winning after 97 maybe we resign mussina and are able to attract free agents again and don’t go into a basically almost 15 year rebuild that had some fun teams and bright spots but didn’t make it back to the playoffs to lose to the Yankees again In 2012, the year my daughter was born so I remember it better then most lol
I have however been to a world series the orioles played in and won, 1983 I was barely 2 and of course don’t remember shit but I’ve been told we went to game 1 which sadly we lost but I’ve heard the story a ton apparently saw John Denver sang the national anthem which my grandfather always talked about as he was a big JD fan, I’m also told they also had game 6 /7 tickets but the series didn’t make it that far (not sure if I was to go to either of those games with them had they happened I just know that they had tickets or had the hook up to get tickets however they worked that out I’m not sure (my grandfather , before he passed, had crazy hook ups, he was a “union” guy and got caught up in some gambling stuff and was eventually indicted and spent a chunk of the later 80’s on vacation lol but even after that if you needed something that was hard to or impossible to get like event tickets he always knew someone lol)
I just started following baseball again
Why is he batting leadoff?
It’s been a strange trend lately to bat a power hitter lead off. The Phillies have been doing it too with Kyle Schwarber, who might well be the worst contact hitter in the league lol.
I think the idea is to give them more chances to change the game via more at bats. Though Gunnar is fast enough to be a more traditional lead off guy regardless tbh
I think a lot of it is people were already fixated on Adley Rutschman as the face of the team. To be fair, he's considered already the top at his position in the game while Gunnar has to go through the likes of Corey Seager in the SS comparisons. He'll get his flowers soon enough though Im sure.
You would have to be blind to not ge us a super star
