Just came across Mayo’s Baseball Factory numbers from 2020.  His 60 yard dash was 6.81, which grades out as a 60 and is considered outstanding.   I had no idea he had that kind of speed.  Also, he thr

He is definitely trending up. The more I've watched him at Delmarva the more I really think he may be something special. I just really like his ABs and for young inexperienced hitter, he really doesn'

Have yourself a game young man. Walks in his next at bat so what does he do? He steals 2nd and 3rd base!

He’s an exciting guy to watch.  I really hope he can stay at third but if not, that’s ok.

Im really curious to see if he is on the radar for top 100 lists.  

I raised that question about a month ago and I think the answer could be he’ll be a similar status as Gunnar was heading into this season. Honorable mention and if he performs he’ll crack some.

Yea that’s what I said too.  He may have impressed more than Gunnar though.  Just more of a question of getting enough at bats and if they feel he has shown enough to make those lists.

Gunnar had done nothing before this season.   Going into next season, Mayo is going to have an amazing 30 games at Delmarva.

What would the reasoning be to start him in Delmarva? I agree its possible but I don't think its justifiable.

I am not strongly against him starting in Aberdeen. I would think he will get another 150 at bats at Delmarva. I think that is Elias/Blood’s MO, and I think Mayo can benefit from that. They do not want to send him back down, so start next year in Delmarva and go from there. He can still finish the year in Bowie. Henderson is. 

I have heard that low A ball is not the same level as it used to be, so maybe @Frobbyis correct. Perhaps that is best for him. It is interesting to think about. Blood may want to keep challenging him after a great Spring. 

If Mayo gets his body in great shape, with more explosiveness and flexibility, that is the most important thing to me.

Also true. I certainly wouldn’t disagree with him being on a list or two, and perhaps with the growing reputation of our system amongst the industry, he’ll get on one.

I don't have the metrics but that swing is really, really fast. His hip rotation is a thing of beauty. 

Reminds me of a certain ROY candidate, who I've said before had the loudest bat I ever heard at Frederick.  Mayo's gonna hit at the big level.  I'm seeing that clearly now as I did with a very young RM.

I think Mayo has a chance to be better than Mountcastle, perhaps significantly better with his plate discipline. I saw a good hitter in Mountcastle with some special plate coverage, but Mayo just looks different.

Not only has Mayo hit considerably better than Gunnar (.981 OPS vs career .800), he strikes out much less (18.5% of plate appearances vs 29.2 career) and walks more (13.4% vs 11.5).  216 plate appearances for Coby and 584 for Gunnar.  

The plus for Gunnar is he is ahead of Mayo on the timeline and is still getting reps at SS. I know many are skeptical he can stay there, but if he can, that's a big bonus for him. Still, I'm glad we have both in this system.

Agreed - Coby is only a half year younger than Gunnar, and it could be GREAT for the O's if Gunnar can stay at SS.

The Yankees occasional Stanton/Judge/Gallo outfielders got lauded as biggest/tallest ever; Mayo/Gunnar would be 3B/SS towers if they could handle it.

Skimmed back through Cal, who mostly played next to average or short height guys, except B-Ref one year has the 6-3 Jeff Manto as the 3B starter for the year.

If I get to Bowie tonight or rainy tomorrow, one of the things I'll be looking for is if I believe Gunnar's present 6'2" listing on minorleaguebaseball.

Imagine if Westburg ends up at 2nd base - he's listed at 6'3.  The infield could be the biggest ever - Mountcastle, Westburg, Gunnar, and Mayo.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Marginal improvements while subtracting from their starting staff. I’m not sure where that really gets them. It gets them nowhere. Seattle is not going to bust up that starting pitching meld for those guys. Mullins is 9 Mil next year, where would he play. they already have JRod in center and Randy in left, Mounty? thats another park that really does not fit him. JT and his 13 MIL come off the books, So they will have money to spend plus the farm ,not to mention they did not miss by much. Any one of those guys might  bring what Hays brought, a reliever, I cant imangine why they would want all 4.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By wickedsolo · Posted

      I really like Povich. He has a nice variety of pitches and he clearly got better as he got more experience throughout the season. It's nice to have a young lefty in the rotation.

      The Mets and Yankees are the two teams I've seen mentioned the most if the Orioles don't re-sign him.  You need stud pitchers to win in this league. Burnes is arguably the best pitcher the Orioles have had in years. Yes, he will be expensive, but until they have some legitimate arm talent in their farm system, I don't see what other options they have.  Burnes, Grayson, Eflin, Povich, Kremer, and hopefully Suarez to kick off next season. Then when Bradish comes back, you can push Kremer or Suarez into the bullpen.

      You should mostly never discard any data, but if you were to discard a little it might be to let go of the part when MLB talent crushes kids. I think he has an edge on Suarez for the SP5 role if the off-season pushes Kremer down to SP4.   Irvin and Means are gone - some LHP preferred in our park, and Rogers is unusable without a big spring. Povich increased his innings from ~125 to ~155, controlled the Tigers twice, beat Burnes by 2 points of September K-BB.    I doubt he is Bradish 2.0 but their backgrounds have a good deal in common.

      I am suggesting that Seattle might "overlook" the down second half because of its desire to have a "an almost local" guy. We can find another catcher. I'm afraid of his bat speed now. I certainly don't want him to DH when he doesn't catch--that really crippled our offense.

      Why would they want to trade for Adley coming off a very down year? And why would we want to do that considering his value will be lower this offseason? Also, then who is our starting catcher?

      Marginal improvements while subtracting from their starting staff. I’m not sure where that really gets them. I seriously doubt that they will be in on the Juan Soto sweepstakes. He has Mets written all over him to me. There are two options for them that I see as much better strategies for improving their offense than seeking to acquire league averageish players. 1) Use their excellent farm system to trade for an impact bat. 2) Sign a player (or two) like Pete Alonso. Neither option requires them to subtract from their team’s strength. I think those two make much more sense and are more attractive to them. I know we would love to give away our spare parts. But in actually we are going to have to spend serious money in order to make the necessary improvements. Budget ball only gets you so far. As Tampa Bay.
