Notches second steal Mullins went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-4 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.
Impact Mullins singled in the fifth inning and stole second base, but he was left on base at the end of the inning. The 26-year-old outfielder has been a pleasant surprise early in 2021 by hitting .455/.500/.667 over 36 plate appearances. The Orioles' leadoff hitter has a homer, two stolen bases, one RBI and five runs scored in eight games. His slash line will regress over time, but speed comes at a premium in fantasy. Mullins is showing some more of it after going 7-for-9 on stolen base chances in 2020.

Launches first home run of season Mullins went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Yankees.
Impact Mullins opened up the scoring for the Orioles to begin the fourth, barreling a changeup for a home run to right field to tie things up at 1-1. The 26-year-old is off to a blistering start this season, as he's notched at least one base hit in all six games while slashing .480/.519/.720. Despite the hot hitting, Mullins only has one RBI to show for it due to his placement atop the Orioles' batting order, though he's still scored five runs.

Out of obscurity, Mercedes and Mullins shine early
In the first few games of the season, hot streaks are magnified — although this performance by Yermín Mercedes would have probably stood out any timeAPRIL 5, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Perfect at the plate Mullins went an astounding 5-for-5 while scoring three times and walking once in Sunday's win over the Red Sox.
Impact In what looks to be his first full season in the majors, Mullins is off to an electrifying start. He 26-year-old is now 9-for-13 at the plate as he recorded three doubles and two singles, making it a no-brainer for Brandon Hyde to keep him in the leadoff spot. The left-handed hitter looks to stay hot as the Orioles travel to New York for a three-game series with the Yankees.

Cracks Opening Day roster Mullins has been awarded a spot on the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Impact Mullins' inclusion on the roster doesn't come as much of a surprise, but it's less certain whether or not he'll have a regular spot in the lineup against both right- and left-handing pitching. After dropping switch-hitting this spring and exclusively batting from the left side of the plate, Mullins delivered a .260/.309/.440 slash line in 50 at-bats while going 3-for-3 in steal attempts. Mullins' poor on-base skills don't make him the best fit for leadoff duties, but since he's one of the few players on the roster with above-average speed, he could find himself atop the order with some regularity. He was the Orioles' primary leadoff option versus right-handed pitching this spring, while Austin Hays typically led off against lefties.

Drops switch hitting Mullins will no longer operate as a switch hitter and will focus on batting as a left-handed hitter, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The 26-year-old had a .439 OPS in 111 plate appearances as a right-handed hitter since making his big-league debut in 2018, so he'll instead focus on honing his skills from the left side. Overall he had a decent showing in 2020 with a .271/.315/.407 slash line, three homers and seven stolen bases in 48 games. Mullins will compete with Austin Hays for the starting job in center field during spring training.
