Why he might be annoying:

    What kind of a first name is Adley?
    He was originally drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 2016, but refused to sign a contract with the team.
    He received an $8.1 million signing bonus from the Orioles, which was the highest ever given to a player before participating in a major league game.
    He is a switch hitter.
    His debut game with the Orioles was extremely hyped, largely in part to his draft billing.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is the grandson of longtime Linfield College football and baseball coach, Ad Rutschman.
    He served as the placekicker on the football team during his freshman year at Oregon State.
    He guided OSU to a College World Series title, earning MVP honors in the process (2018).
    He was the first player since Ben McDonald 30 years earlier to be selected by the Orioles with the first overall pick.
    He recorded a triple in his first major league game (May 21, 2022).
