Whenever Orioles manager Brandon Hyde was asked to explain his club’s offensive inconsistencies this year, he’d often note that his players didn’t walk much — which was true.
The Orioles' lack of on-base ability, save for a few players, made for a boom-or-bust offense that had the third-lowest walk rate in the majors in 2020. Down the stretch, the Orioles struggled to get rallies going when they did get on base.
Two players, however, walked plenty. Outfielder DJ Stewart and Chance Sisco were far and away the Orioles’ most effective players at working a walk this season.
