Henderson looks to be a future superstar in the MLB with legitimate Gold Glove potential at third base. The ceiling is sky-high for the rookie, as his elite athleticism and above-average arm make him a versatile infielder for the Baltimore Orioles. That athleticism combined with this aggressiveness makes him a threat on the base paths.
