I was able to put together a little highlight video of his stint in RF from yesterday.  Nice assist, noted by a previous poster, starting at 0:29.

Just saw this in the Baltimore Sun. Orioles prospect Coby Mayo has reported to Sarasota and will play a few games in the Florida Complex League next week as he recovers from back spasms, a source

I was really just posting he stayed at 3B the first weekend.    

I do hope there won't be anything like the SS/3B Mountcastle tilting at windmills, and that he won't repeat Trey Mancini's life experience of being asked to learn the OF at the same time he is trying to adjust to MLB pitching.

I hope he has the athleticism and defensive skill of young Kris Bryant!

Which is why you won't see him moved off 3B anytime soon.

I don't like the showboating. At the ML level, maybe. Not my style. 

But he sure did crush that ball.

Meh. I like when guys have fun playing the game. It wasn’t even really showboating.

He did something with his helmet too after flipping the bat. Came across more as cocky than fun to me. 

When you can crush a ball so far that the fans of the other team in their ballpark go "Ohhhhh" all in unison, I think it's ok to do a bit of a bat flip. I didn't feel that was showboating. I'm not big on that stuff either and despise the things being done in College baseball with showboating, but at the end of the day, the kid put a charge into one and had some fun afterwards.

Coby is a dude, plain and simple. I’m kinda old school, but to me there was nothing wrong with the bat flip. The helmet thing, it was brief, and it looked like he tipped his helmet to the bench or maybe the crowd. IDK which bench his team was in, I would guess away team is in 3B side. Either way, I have no problem with it, and I doubt anyone does from the other team.

To be clear, when you celebrate as you make your way to first with a moderate flip like that, today’s generation finds that normal. Now, if he stood there and watched for more than a second, or taunted the other team in some way, ok. He should wear one next time up. But I find what he did very benign. Besides, we need some swagger. That is the game today. I tell my guys, if you know you got it, go ahead and flip it. But you better be right. If you flip a non-homer, you owe your teammates and coaches. And the bill gets paid next practice, lol.

More importantly, as soon as he hit the ball, did he put his head down and run the bases? Would hate to hear that he is having fun out there.

Don't know, I was still watching for the ball to land!  😁

He crushed it and he was up right after Adley took the CF to the wall (nice catch by CF). 

I've seen a couple of his games this year (SSS) but I don't see anything concerning about his behavior.   I love watching him play but I think ill have to travel to Bowie pretty soon

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Good point, no other metropolitan area has more than one team.

      Could it be that they allowed the Gnats to reside within 30 minutes of their home. Effectively cutting their market in half?

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.
