24-Year-Old Third Baseman3B
Miami Marlins
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Norby was part of a long list of good prospects with the Orioles who were blocked at the major-league level, but he was finally freed at the trade deadline in a deal that sent him to the Marlins. The 24-year-old showed off both the good and bad parts of his profile during his 36-game audition in Miami, as he put up a 1.043 OPS with six home runs in his first 18 contests before cratering to a .481 OPS with one home run and a 34.5 percent strikeout rate in his final 18 tilts. Norby smacked 26 home runs and stole 16 bases combined between the majors and minors in 2024 but also struck out at a 29.5 clip, including a rate of 33 percent in the big leagues. With a 14.8 percent barrel rate and well above average fly ball and pull rates, Norby should provide power even in Miami if he can make enough contact. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The two things working against Norby for 2024 are his middling defense at second base and in left field and Baltimore's impressive depth. If he were on a team like the White Sox, he could be ticketed for everyday work at second base to start the season and he might even climb to the first or second spot in the lineup. He is a professional hitter and enters his age-23/24 season with a career .295/.362/.498 slash line, 25 home runs, 10 steals and a 21 percent strikeout rate in 147 games at Triple-A. Norby bats right-handed and Oriole Park at Camden Yards had the second-worst overall 2023 Statcast park factor for right-handed batters and was third-worst for righty homers, so the depth chart isn't the only reason he could benefit from a trade. Norby has average speed and could chip in a handful of steals if he is playing every day.
Norby, the 41st overall pick in 2021, is pretty good at everything that matters in fantasy and is nearing his big-league debut. His best tool is his hit tool and his worst tool is his fielding at second base, but he's good enough to play there everyday if his bat is as good as expected. Norby got better luck on balls in play (.322 BABIP vs. .277 BABIP) after a promotion from High-A to Double-A and he was generally just a better hitter across the board (better approach, more power) as the season progressed. He hit .303/.382/.588 with 21 home runs, 10 steals a 19.9 K% and a 10.4 BB% in 71 games from July 1 on at Double-A and Triple-A. Norby was once a plus runner, but he's now more of a 50- or 55-grade runner who could steal double-digit bases over a full season. There are some other candidates for middle-infield work in the short term (Ramon Urias, Jordan Westburg, Joey Ortiz), and if the Orioles stick with Jorge Mateo, that would only leave second base open. However, Norby is arguably the best pure hitter long term of Baltimore's non-Gunnar Henderson infielders.
