Adley Rutschman's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman will be getting the night off on Friday evening as the O's play host to the Milwaukee Brewers for a three-game set. The All-Star catcher is off to a strong start to the 2024 campaign as he has tallied 13 hits in 12 games and has an overall .271/.333/.313 stat line. Rutschman has yet to hit a home run this season, but that should change fairly quickly, as he launched 20 last season. Rutschman, who has batted in the two-hole all season, will cede that spot to Colton Cowser this evening. James McCann will serve as the backstop and will make his fifth start of the season in a difficult matchup against Freddy Peralta.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer in Grapefruit League action against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. The star catcher now has three homers and eight RBI to go along with a .257 batting average this spring. Rutschman has improved in each year of his young big-league career and is coming off a 20 homer, 80 RBI campaign. In addition to his healthy power numbers, he hit a respectable .277. The 26-year-old is entrenched in the No. 1 spot behind the dish in all formats and the combination of a rare position and top tier lineup work to his advantage when considering him in upcoming drafts.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 Grapefruit League win over the Boston Red Sox. He took Red Sox pitcher Garrett Whitlock deep to center field for his first spring training homer. The 26-year-old broke out in 2023, slashing .277/.374/.435 with 20 home runs, 80 RBI, 84 runs, and a stolen base over 687 plate appearances. Baltimore values his bat in the lineup as Rutschman served as the team's primary designated hitter for 46 of the 154 games he played last season, giving him more opportunities to produce. Rutschman is the unanimous No. 1 catcher in fantasy baseball and is a solid pick at his current NFBC ADP of 47, especially in leagues that require managers to start two catchers.
