Gunnar Henderson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson continued his career-year on Thursday versus the Seattle Mariners. Henderson went 3-for-5 in the contest with a double and two-run home run. Henderson's home run would be his 27th of the season and he has now driven in 60 runs to go along with 13 stolen bases and a smooth .289 batting average. Henderson has put to rest any doubt of a sophomore slump this season and turned himself into a MVP candidate with his strong play in the first half. As someone who wasn't a first-round pick in drafts this season, Henderson has turned himself into one of the best players in the league. With his ability to help across the board and in one of the best lineups in the sport, Henderson managers should continue to enjoy the ride.

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson stayed raging-hot in Wednesday afternoon's win over the visiting Cleveland Guardians, clubbing his 26th home run of the year. Henderson extended his on-base streak to 33 games with Wednesday's showing, first driving an RBI single into center field off Guardians right-hander Carlos Carrasco to bring home a run for the Orioles and tie the game in the second inning, and later tying the game at two as he crushed a solo homer to right-center field during the fifth frame. Over 95 at-bats in the month of June, the 22-year-old rising superstar is slashing .351/.447/.701 with eight big flies, 16 RBI, 28 runs scored, and six stolen bases. It's going to be fun watching Henderson and Aaron Judge jockey for the American League MVP Award this summer.

Henderson continues to not only be valuable in redraft leagues, but should be an asset for years to come in dynasty leagues.

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson smacked a grand slam on Wednesday night versus the Boston Red Sox, going 1-for-4 in a 6-1 victory. Henderson crushed his 18th home run on the season and has continued to provide plenty of power out of the leadoff spot for the Orioles. Despite his power consistency, his overall consistency with the bat has taken a huge dip in May, with a .218 batting average after batting a solid .280 in April. To this date, the 22-year-old has a modest .254 batting average, along with those 18 long balls, 41 RBI, and seven stolen bases on the season. If he can get that batting average back up into the .280 range or higher next month, Henderson should be right back at the top of the American League MVP race.

The 22-year-old provided all the offense, going 1-for-3 with a three-run HR and a walk. Henderson has hit for elite power all season long and has homered in each of his last four games. He now has a league-best 16 with 34 RBI, seven stolen bases, and a .271/.351/.610 slash line in 202 plate appearances. Henderson already flashed his power and speed potential in his rookie season, and he could elevate himself to a top fantasy option for seasons to come if he can also continue to bat for a high average.
