Baltimore finished 24th in MLB in runs scored in 2025 while racking up the fourth-most strikeouts.

Baltimore finished with a .235 average, which ranked 24th in the majors, and a .699 on-base-plus-slugging percentage, which ranked 21st.

He’s here to fix and elevate the young core. That’s his mandate.

Albernaz spoke honestly, made fun of himself for his smaller stature and cracked a “6-7” joke his sons, CJ and Norman, would understand, though it surely flew over the head of owner David Rubenstein.
