Shh. The Orioles second baseman is really good and no one knows it. Let's just keep this between you and me.
Can we talk about Jonathan Schoop for a minute? Somebody needs to, because the guy is quietly becoming one of the most impressive second basemen in all of baseball.
Heading into last night's matchup with Seattle, the 23-year-old from Curacao was slashing .314/.341/.576 with eight home runs and 20 RBI over just 37 games and 118 at-bats. Though it is in an injury-affected campaign, Schoop leads the O's in slugging percentage. As a whole, Baltimore ranks seventh in all of baseball in that category.
