Gunnar Henderson became a star in 2023 for the Baltimore Orioles, but what makes his so good? Host Connor Newcomb is joined by Paul Valle, Host of 'The Bat Around', to review the 2023 seasons of Gunnar Henderson and Joey Ortiz.

Connor and Paul break down how Henderson broke out of his early-season slump to become the clear frontrunner for the AL Rookie of the Year Award. Then, they discuss Ortiz's brief time in the major leagues this year and ponder whether he is a trade piece or a future impact infielder for the Orioles.
