As of June 17, 2026, the Orioles are underperforming, currently at 34-39 for the season. Despite offseason changes, including a new manager and a significant free-agent signing, the team is likely on track for only one All Star representative for the second consecutive year. Gunnar Henderson and Pete Alonso, both anticipated All Stars, rank low in their respective voting. Injuries and inconsistent play have hampered the Orioles' expected contributors, while unexpected players like Adley Rutschman are unexpectedly in contention for All Star recognition. The team faces crucial decisions as the trade deadline approaches.
