Second base is often the least respected position, but not for the Baltimore Orioles. Some outstanding men have fielded this position.
We’ve looked at first base, looking at big men who hit the ball hard and made quick scoops. Chris Davis, Jeff Conine, and Rafael Palmeiro lead the Orioles in WAR while playing first base.
But, the defensive skills at second base are slightly different. This position requires agility and range. Players at second base do not have to be as tall as those who play first.
