First Half Superlatives For The Baltimore Orioles
Baltimore (WJZ) -- With the Orioles currently competing for the division crown, let's take a look at some of the Orioles superlatives for the first half of the MLB season:
MVP: Chris Tillman - Where would the Orioles be without this stud on the mound?
Biggest Surprise: Hyun Soo Kim - After struggling in spring training, Kim has been nothing short of exceptional for the birds.
Best Pitcher: Chris Tillman - He's currently 10-0 against teams in the AL East.
Best Bat: Mark Trumbo - He currently leads the league in home runs.
Best Glove: Manny Machado - Once he makes the transition to short stop, the big plays will double for this star.
Most Improved: Kevin Gausman - Wins have been difficult to come by, but he's the future of the rotation.
Most Disappointing: Ubaldo Jimenez - Inconsistency and lack of command has grounded this once promising acquisition.
Most Clutch: Matt Wieters - His late inning heroics have become the norm so far this season.
