He entered the weekend with a 12-game hitting streak, during which his batting average rose to .359 and his OPS reached 1.060. Norby, originally Baltimore's second-round pick in the 2021 draft, played nine games for the Orioles before a trade sent him to the Miami Marlins. He spent parts of three injury-affected seasons with Miami, where his performance was largely underwhelming. His current success with Colorado marks a turning point for the infielder.
