Was absolutely DESTROYED down the LF line

He might lead the minors in home runs this year.

And playing the second half in the friendlier confines of Bowie may not hurt those prospects.

Yeah, he'd have at least two more home runs this year if he was playing in Bowie's stadium vs Aberdeen cavern.

I watched it a few more times and I'm not sure that ball has come back down yet! That thing may have still been going up when i crossed the fence. the outfielder took a few steps and a job over to make his pitche feel better, but that was an absolute no-doubter. The catcher had to console the pitcher after that one. I believe I may have heard him say, "Anything hit that far should have a stewardess on it!" lol

Cherry-picking window here, but 5 K's in his last two games.  Seems like after hitting a few absolute bombs, he's selling out for power.  On the year he has a 26% K rate and 8% BB rate.  

Does anyone know where to see if he's swinging outside the strike zone?  Watching strike 3?  Just swinging through pitches?

Still early, but his splits are rough.

2022 day/night - 

Day:  .063/.111/.063 (.174 OPS)

Night:  .292/.361/.646 (1.007 OPS)

 

But Low-A was similar in 2021 -

Day:  .000/.167/.000 (.167 OPS)

Night:  .344/.442/.604 (1.046 OPS)

 

2022 righty/lefty splits are a work in progress too -

vs. Lefty:  .167/.211/.222 (.433 OPS)

vs. Righty:  .270/.338/.619 (.957 OPS)

 

Low A in 2021 -

vs Lefty:  .250/.429/.313 (.742 OPS)

vs Righty:  .322/.413/.589 (1.002 OPS)

Man, it's almost like he's a young kid who is still developing.

Stats early on mean very little..splits early on mean even less.

He's the anti-Wayne Gross!  Wayne was a 3B who ambled into the hearts of O's fans from Oakland in 1984.

 

Day (40 games) - 11 HR, 33 RBI, .282/.380/.655 (1.034 OPS)

Night (87 games) - 11 HR, 31 RBI, .185/.331/.341 (.672 OPS)

 

As a 14 year old with a new Sunday afternoon season ticket plan, Wayne Gross was a hitting machine.

Have to agree.   Mayo certainly did well in the FCL, which plays only day games. He’s played all of four day games this year - hard to draw a trend out of that.  Last year he played in three at Delmarva. So, I’m not worried about some problem playing day games.   

As to R/L, he had 20 PA vs. LHP last year, 19 so far this year.   So again, not enough to really raise any concerns yet.

Mayo is struggling a bit. His thread was way down on page 4. His OPS is at .774. Only 2 errors so far at 3rd. Anyone seen him play recently?

I saw him two weeks ago when AR was in Aberdeen (no Cowser in the game I went to).  Mayo struck out a few times against Phillies top SP prospect Mick Abel (no shame in that).  But I don't recall any real good ABs for him either though.  Long swing with a ton of power.  And he tried to tap into that power in every swing I saw.  He'll get his HRs and Ks.  Looked good with his glove and he has a great arm.  He had a strong long throw behind 3B on target.  

Mayo's a big man but standing next to AR he looked thin.  Another year or two of building up muscle and Mayo will be a beast!

Seems to be similar in size to Alec Bohm of the Phillies.

[oldfan]

Baseball America bumped him up to #5 in their O's top 10, ahead of Cowser and Westburg.

[Sports Guy]

He’s definitely striking out a lot right now.  3 more tonight.
