My original goal was to see if anyone had more value than Gunner in his first 208 games as an Oriole at the start of his career. But the span finder in Stathead doesn't do WAR. Rettenmund hit better, but was worth 6.1 rWAR in his first 232 games. Blefary was an okay LFer, so no. Sheet was a essentially a DH. Rutschman may have done it. His pace has been 7.7 rWAR per 208. Cal was sort of close, but hurt by that start. Through 182 games he was sitting on 4.2. Eddie was held back by being a DH a lot in his first year or two. So I'm pretty confident that the two most valuable Orioles through their first ~1.5 seasons are Henderson and Rutschman. -
As an aside, I was shocked how bad Bumbry’s second full year was when I looked it up following my guesses. .898 as a rookie, then .592. I also forgot that Jim Gentile had a couple of cups of coffee in other orgs before his rookie year in Baltimore, so he didn’t qualify for the list. -
Last year at Bowie he was 109/288 (37.8%). This year he’s at 21/64 (32.8%). So, that’s progress. He’s always going to strike out a lot.

You got Rutschman, he's 5th at .799. Here, since nobody else took me up on it, this is the top 13 just becase Cal is 13th: Rk Player Team Span Started Span Ended OPS PA AB R H 1B 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS 1 Merv Rettenmund BAL 1968-04-14 1971-04-28 .864 735 628 96 185 122 32 6 25 96 21 10 86 116 .295 .380 .484 .864 2 Gunnar Henderson BAL 2022-08-31 2024-04-24 .836 864 773 132 203 111 39 13 40 120 16 4 79 219 .263 .334 .502 .836 3 Curt Blefary BAL 1965-04-14 1966-06-29 .831 818 687 111 177 108 29 6 34 105 5 3 114 102 .258 .365 .466 .831 4 Larry Sheets BAL 1984-09-18 1986-09-02 .812 680 628 82 174 114 24 1 35 108 2 1 44 101 .277 .326 .486 .812 5 Adley Rutschman BAL 2022-05-21 2023-07-25 .799 896 763 118 199 120 52 1 26 84 4 1 124 152 .261 .365 .434 .799 6 Ryan Mountcastle BAL 2020-08-21 2022-05-22 .797 851 780 101 210 135 31 1 43 129 6 4 57 222 .269 .320 .477 .797 7 Trey Mancini BAL 2016-09-20 2018-06-05 .796 845 775 97 215 141 36 4 34 100 1 0 57 197 .277 .330 .466 .796 8 Nick Markakis BAL 2006-04-05 2007-06-22 .789 864 783 112 223 150 45 3 25 104 9 1 67 122 .285 .343 .446 .789 9 Cedric Mullins BAL 2018-08-10 2021-08-03 .787 864 773 106 212 137 41 9 25 64 30 12 67 169 .274 .339 .448 .787 10 Jay Gibbons BAL 2001-04-06 2003-04-03 .783 798 729 99 178 94 40 1 43 106 1 4 59 106 .244 .305 .479 .783 11 Al Bumbry BAL 1972-09-05 1975-05-31 .780 806 735 117 220 160 35 16 9 64 34 14 57 118 .299 .353 .427 .780 12 Eddie Murray BAL 1977-04-07 1978-06-02 .779 878 806 101 222 148 38 3 33 113 0 3 62 130 .275 .326 .453 .779 13 Cal Ripken Jr. BAL 1981-08-12 (2) 1983-05-17 (2) .778 853 779 116 206 126 41 6 33 115 3 3 62 126 .264 .318 .460 .778 -

I really hate the chicken little sky-is-falling posts after a tough loss. Reactive and dumb and obnoxious. I haven’t looked yet but I’m assuming someone else will be here victory lapping.
