The newest Baltimore Orioles short stop, Jose Iglesias, should keep up the tradition.
In the last 20 years, the Baltimore Orioles shortstops have been workhorses. Between 2004 and 2006, Miguel Tejada had three All-Star seasons where he had 162 starts with the O’s. In 2004, he earned a WAR of 7.4.
Then, in the 2010s, J.J. Hardy took over the position and held it for seven seasons. He had one All-Star season, but was the face of consistency before he retired after the 2017 season.
In 2018, Manny Machado took a break from third base for a season at short.
