PROSPECT: Connor Norby, 2B/OF, Baltimore Orioles
ERIC CROSS' LATEST PROSPECT RANKING: #17
CALL-UP ETA: May
ANALYSIS: Like most in the star-studded Norfolk Tides lineup, Connor Norby is red hot to start the 2024 season, slashing .395/.438/.767 through his first nine games with four doubles and four home runs. Norby has been playing primarily left field this season for Norfolk after handling the keystone in most of his starts last season.
Connor Norby went yard again yesterday and has been on fire to open the season.

Regardless of which position he's at, there's no clear path to playing time for Norby either as he would have to battle with Heston Kjerstad and Colton Cowser for any outfield reps and Jackson Holliday for any second base reps. Norby has the offensive skillset to make a solid fantasy contribution if he does get regular playing time, but he's just one to monitor for now until a spot opens up.
