The Baltimore Orioles seem to be getting the best out of each of their players this season.
One player, in particular, did not even start the season on their team.
That is former New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks.
He had a terrible start to the year with the Yankees but has since found his stroke as an Oriole.
Baltimore continues to get the best out of their players and Hicks is another case of that.
According to @MLBdream on Twitter, Hicks has improved in every statistical category since joining the Orioles.

He has been a welcomed addition in the outfield for Baltimore and someone they can continue to count on.
His switch-hitting ability is something that makes him very valuable.
Sometimes a change of scenery is the best thing for a player and that has been the case with Hicks.
He stepped in while Cedric Mullins was injured and kept the Orioles’ offense on track.
Even though he is not an everyday player he is a part of a strong outfield rotation.
The Orioles are once again having a very good season, proving that last year was no fluke.
They have a 47-29 record and are one of the top teams in the American League.
Baltimore has the third-best win percentage in baseball and should return to the playoffs this year.
The last time we saw the Orioles in the playoffs was in 2016.
Seeing this star-studded team back in the postseason will be great for baseball.
