Gunnar Henderson

Henderson, through his age 23 season, already has more homers than Freddie Freeman, David Wright, and Francisco Lindor had through their age 23 seasons. He has more runs scored at this age than Derek Jeter and Fernando Tatis Jr. Simply put, he has been everything that was expected of him and then some through two plus seasons in Baltimore. Nearly every measure across the board has improved year over year with nary a hiccup to be found. Despite the unfriendly confines to the opposite field, Henderson had 23 of his 37 homers at home. The power did wane in the second half of the season, as his slugging percentage dropped from .584 to .447. His struggles, along with Adley Rutschman, were a big reason why Baltimore ended up in the wild-card spot and being bounced out in two games without a whimper. The second half slump will likely be motivation for him as he works out all winter and prepares for another full season of play at a taxing position. He is a first-round talent and will be one for the foreseeable future barring injury. Read Past Outlooks
