The Orioles 2nd round pick in the 2021 draft, Norby comes in as the #9 prospect after hitting more home runs than anyone in the system. Connor Norby Pos: 2B Bats: R Throws: R Age (as of J

The write-up about his defense is disappointing.   I knew Norby wasn’t Bobby Grich (or Joey Ortiz) out there, but it really sounds like he’s Dan Uggla.  That really limits his value.    One thing

I can remember many years when a guy like Norby would be our #1 prospect. Wow how times have changed. Seeing the current quality and depth of the O's system really shines a light on just how bad the O

Sure, and for the 9th overall prospect in your system you should be pretty thrilled.

If you get 10 WAR out of your 9th best prospect, your system is stacked! Nothing wrong if he ends up with a Steve Pearce career, but he does have the upside to do better.

Here's Norby's 2022 highlights. Notice how many home runs to right and right-center as well as some big boy home runs to center and left center. The home run around the 1:00 mark was 430 ft. 

2022 Highlights

Every youth baseball player in America should watch and see how much power can be generated from a short, simple, compact swing.  What a stroke.

      I agree with that and he's only two years out of high school. If Holliday gets back to his pre-call up stat line as you mentioned then he deserves serious consideration to be back on the Orioles roster. For now Mayo and Norby are deserving of being called up if the Orioles want to bring up a player from Norfolk.

      I just want to riff on the term “elite athlete.”   To me, different people have different ideas of what level of quality is “elite,” and what it means to be an “athlete.”    For some people, “elite” means top 10% of the whole populace, for others it means top 0.1% of people who play professional sports.   Some people consider you “athletic” if you are very well coordinated and have good ability to learn skills, others don’t consider you “athletic” unless you could hold your own in the Olympic decathlon.   So a lot of times, people arguing about whether someone is an “elite athlete” are really talking past each other because they don’t ageee on what the term means.   To me, most pro sports players are elite athletes, and it’s just a matter of how elite they are.   In the case of Holliday, he’s athletic enough to be an awesome baseball player, and that’s elite enough for me.

      The last column is IRS, which means “inherited runners scored”  Inherited runners would be IR and I am surprised that I didn’t see it anywhere in that column. This particular site has a different set of initials, IRS means inherited runners scored. I don’t think that can possibly be correct, because that would be a huge number.
