After a solid rookie campaign in 2023, Jordan Westburg looked like he could be a valuable contributor to the Orioles. But it wasn’t clear until this year that he might just be the glue that holds this team together. He took a step forward with his bat and proved himself a good defender at both second and third base. He was voted to his first All-Star Game and, when he was lost to injury in the second half, he was sorely missed.
Westburg played quiet baseball, operating as a foil to the goofball personality of his buddy Colton Cowser.
