"Henderson's wRC+ stands at just 95 through 163 plate appearances. He's shown good power with nine home runs, but is striking out nearly 31% of the time and thus has a .208/.270/.443 line."
"After that streak ended in '23, he posted a 130 wRC+ the rest of the way. Henderson has spent ample time at both third base and shortstop in his career, though he's been at short exclusively since his monster '24 season."
Gunnar Henderson, a 25-year-old under team control through 2028, is experiencing a downturn in performance with a wRC+ of 95. Despite showing power with nine home runs, he has a high strikeout rate of nearly 31%, resulting in a poor batting line of .208/.270/.443. The Orioles have a 31.4% chance of making the playoffs, but Henderson's early-season struggles are within normal variation. He has previously posted better numbers and has played both third base and shortstop, primarily at shortstop since 2024.
