Gunnar Henderson Works on Speed in Offseason
Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson worked at Tinsley Performance in the offseason to try to increase his speed going into the 2026 season, according to Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner. Henderson has increased his stolen base totals in each of his four seasons in the big leagues, culminating with a career-high 30 thefts in 154 games in 2025. Even though he stole 30 bags, he ranked only in the 79th percentile in sprint speed, so he worked to get faster. At the plate last year, Henderson regressed, slashing .274/.349/.438 with a career-low .787 OPS, only 17 home runs, 68 RBI, and 85 runs scored in 651 plate appearances, although he battled through a shoulder impingement for a good chunk of the season. The 24-year-old's current ADP suggests he won't come at much of a discount, with many fantasy managers expecting a bounce-back year with better health. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 4 fantasy shortstop.
