ANALYSIS: Connor Norby, the Baltimore Orioles' second-round draft pick in 2021, has finally gotten the call to the big leagues, giving fantasy managers an intriguing middle infield option for the stretch run. The 24-year-old second baseman has shown an enticing blend of power and speed in the minors this season, slashing .297/.389/.519 with 16 home runs, 57 RBI, 71 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases in 80 games at Triple-A.

With the Orioles in the playoff hunt, Norby should see regular playing time at second base. His versatility could also lead to starts at other positions to keep his bat in the lineup. In his first seven games in the majors, Norby has hit .200/.200/.440 with two home runs and three RBI, showing flashes of his potential despite some initial struggles.
Norby is worth adding in deeper mixed leagues and AL-only formats. In shallow leagues, take a wait-and-see approach, but be ready to pounce if he gets hot. With his advanced approach at the plate and a prime spot in a potent Orioles lineup, Norby has the potential to be a sneaky contributor for fantasy teams eyeing a championship.
