Orioles star Adley Rutschman had a big night at the Home Run Derby on Monday night, but his sister stole the show.
While Rutschman didn’t win the HR derby, he made waves by changing stances in the bonus round.
Adley hit his first round left handed and switched around for his bonus round and hit right handed.
Freak of nature.

Apparently, Josie almost didn’t make it to Allstar week because she’s scheduled to have knee surgery in a few days.
Via MLB
On Tuesday, Rutschman, 25, will represent the Baltimore Orioles in the MLB All-Star Game at T-Mobile.
Parents Randy and Carol Rutschman and Adley’s only sibling, sister Josie, will be on hand. Josie is having knee surgery in Portland on Wednesday, but she wasn’t going to miss this.
The immediate Rutschman family will converge in Seattle on Monday.
Randy will arrive from Minneapolis, where he watched the Orioles play their final pre-All-Star break series against the Twins. Carol will be driving up from Sherwood. Josie has a doctor’s appointment on Monday and will fly from Portland that afternoon.
