Whether you are the No. 1 overall prospect or the No. 200 prospect in all of Major League Baseball, it is always a special moment when your current manager breaks the news that you are headed to the show.
That is exactly what recently happened to Adley Rutschman, who just so happens to be the No. 1 overall prospect in MLB.
Watch this emotional video showing the moment Rutschman found out he was going to be playing his next game with the Baltimore Orioles.

When Rutschman walked out onto the field in the first inning, he shook the umpires and soaked in a moment that he will never forget.
