Baltimore Orioles Headlines

Vance Honeycutt is stealing the spotlight this spring with an incredible 4-for-4 start, blasting four home runs and earning the nickname 'Home Run Honeycutt',a bright spark for an Orioles team looking to build on last season's success. Meanwhile, pressure mounts on Coby Mayo as he experiments at third base under Craig Albernaz's encouraging 'go have fun' philosophy. If Mayo can shake off performance anxiety, he could solidify his role in the lineup. On a different front, Gunnar Henderson is tantalizingly close to reclaiming his spot in MVP discussions, but that one pesky defensive slump is holding him back. As the O's gear up for today's matchup against the Astros, fans are eager to see how these narratives unfold in the Grapefruit League.

Gunner Henderson is a good defensive shortstop but he has a bad month of defense every year that ruins his numbers. If he fixes that in 2026, he could win MVP.
