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!

Seeing the struggles that Gunnar is having in Aberdeen, I’ll stay cautiously hopeful for Mayo. That said, the ball sounds different coming off his bat. 

Gunnar's been OPSing over .800 in Aberdeen over the past couple weeks. I think he's adapting quite well, he's always maintained good plate discipline even when he's slumped. At both levels this season.

Mayo looks like a steal. Borderline top 100 player. He’s singlehandedly making up for the Kjerstad bad luck. After today, Mayo will have spent about have the games that Gunnar did in Delmarva. The bats are coming on. 

Here's hoping that Kerstad gets healthy and looks like a stud as well.   And Baumler gets back on the mound and looks good as well.

I don't want to add to the hype, but he's the one guy not named Rutschman that just excites me when he gets in the batters box. 

I've always said, special players do special things early. While he's got some miss still, he really hits the ball hard and that swing is explosive but under control. 

Right now, I think he has the second most upside in the system. The lack of a complete high school season in 2020 may have given the Orioles a real gift.

Great to hear.  How do you compare him to Henderson?

Right, but the O's knew about him so other teams must have known about him too.  Lucky pick?

Right now he shows me better plate discipline and less miss in the swing. He also hits the ball consistently harder than Henderson. Now Henderson is a little more athletic but Mayo is not slough although he does have a little bit of slow feet that could make him move from 3B at some point to either RF or 1B. It's too early for that right now though.

I have Mayo over Henderson by a small margin right now.

I don't think any team had a ton on him other than what his Perfect Game type metrics were after his Junior year and those few Senior year games he had before everything shut down. He was rising fast and I think the Orioles were able to find a price tag that made sense for both of them while other teams either didn't want to meet this price tag or thought he was better off going to college.  

I think people know me and I try make guys impress me regardless of their bonus or draft status. I typically give those things as part of the early equation until I can get some eyes ons and some professional stats (above FCL level), but Mayo just stands out to me.

Mayo's is the closest swing I've seen to Giancarlo Stanton's.

It does have some resemblance. 

In Stanton first full minor league season at 18 years old he did the following in Low-A:

.293/.381/.611/.993, 39 HR, 58 BB, 153 Ks in 540 PAs

If you expand out Mayo's first season stats at 19 years old in Low-A to 540 PAs
.295/.411/.574/.985 30 HR, 74 BB, 133 K in 540 PAs

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By waroriole · Posted

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.

      I agree…just not sure the Os will feel that way.

      By waroriole · Posted

      Yeah I can see Rivera at DH. That’s probably a better choice than Kjerstad against Skubal. I’d definitely go with Mullins and Cowser over Slater. Slater has been really bad against LH this year. Only a .543 OPS. He’s actually worse than Cowser against LH and slightly better than Mullins.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Not that it matters, but for some reason I took a lot of heat for suggesting mid season that Basallo would end up #1. It’s all good. We don’t have to agree 100% on everything.

      Chayce McDermott 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I don’t think he’s gonna be a part of any playoff roster, but kudos for him to rehab all the way back just to be an option for us if needed.  Also, hopefully now he’s shaken the injury and can have a normal offseason and normal fall instructs.  He’s a dude that if he could just be another Dean Kremer, would be huge for this org.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      My guess is vs Skubal or Ragans, the Os will go with an IF of Gunnar, Westy, Mounty and Urias.  Rivera will DH. Santander starts in RF. Obviously one of Cowser or Mullins starts but do both of them start?  Would they start Slater? Lefties hit Ragans much better than righties do this year. Everyone is terrible vs Skubal although lefties are worse.
