0-2 with two walks in his Delmarva debut. Also threw a runner out at second.

And he caught a 2 hit shutout(from 5 pitchers)...pitchers struck out 12 and walked 2.

Hit his first homerun with Delmarva tonight

That company. Good lord.

[SportsGuy]

The idea that he already considers him the best catching prospect he has ever seen, considering the catching talent of the last 30ish years, is pretty astounding.

That’s better than Mauer, IRod, Posey and yes, Wieters, to name a few.

Pretty crazy to think about but if he’s that good than the Os drafted a HOFer.

[NewMarketSean]

People said the same thing about Wieters...

[Mike B]

That is high praise.  Hopefully we get to see him in the minors pretty soon.

And he was a great prospect.

Just didn’t put it together in the majors.

Either way, it’s irrelevant to the point here.

I'll believe it when I see it. Was very underwhelmed in a very SSS last year.

Not really. We have experience seeing hyped (catcher) prospects failing to live up to the hype. So I'm going to remain skeptical until I see him succeed.

It is good that he is at least getting in the squad games and getting on the field.

Balt Sun: Orioles' top prospect Adley Rutschman growing in unique environment: ‘We’re making the most out of it'

[Mike B]

Adley seems to have the perfect attitude.  I really hope we can get him and the other kids back into normal action next y6ear.  Time is wasting.

Balt Sun: Orioles top prospect Adley Rutschman didn’t stop improving in 2020. The spotlight on him didn’t dim, either.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Adley has struck out 4 times in his first 6 ABs. Im betting there is already a thread at OH talking about him being a bust.

A certain someone already said Rutschman looks "overmatched". That was on Opening Night.
