As much as Adley Rutschman has been written and talked about, it would be easy to think he’s been a professional for eons. But even though he was drafted nearly two years ago, the No. 1 overall pick in the Draft and current No. 2 overall prospect has a grand total of 130 official at-bats to his name.
Sure, he got good experience both facing and handling more advanced pitchers at the Orioles’ alternate site last year and looked like he belonged in Spring Training this year. But those who can’t wait to see him in Baltimore should remind themselves that while it’s not going to take him long, he has only played 30 real games to date.
