Star Rookie Catcher Leads Orioles' Surprise Playoff Push

Adley Rutschman, the first overall pick in the 2019 draft, has become the focal point of the Orioles' success this season.
Rutschman's strong communication and relationship with pitchers have been instrumental to the Orioles staying competitive in a tough division.
The Orioles have a chance to make the playoffs for the first time since 2016, thanks in large part to Rutschman's performance.
Rutschman has shown strong leadership qualities in just his second MLB season and has lived up to high expectations.
The Orioles will need to continue their strong play down the stretch to qualify for the postseason.
