Coby Mayo 2023

[btdart20]

From an org build perspective, Mayo seems:

1. Priced out of a trade because of his MOO upside and his system-match approach at the plate.

2. Destined for 1B because of the 3B options ahead of him (and other left side options behind him) and Mayo's comparative the glove/foot work isn't as strong as other options (even if his arm is).  And his infield experience will help that transition to 1B compared to other 1B potentials.  He could stick at 3B in other orgs, but I don't see it over the long haul in Baltimore without clearing the deck ahead of him.  

3. I had been an advocate of him in RF to maximize his arm previously, but of his experience in the dirt and the other competent RF options are performing. 

File this under "it's a good problem to have."

He is on a serious heater!

Mayo is a beast.  I’m slowly allowing myself to get excited.

Heck yeah!  Can't wait for him to go to Norfolk and stay there forever.

Just think how good Norfolk's is going to be next year with all these guys repeating the level.

Hays isn’t making it easy for guys to break in.

.999 now.  On the cusp of .300/1.000.   

We’ve always known Mayo had light tower power, but his on base streak is a really impressive accomplishment and suggests he’s taken his hitting to a new level.

Another benefit of having a top farm system is that someone like Mayo can develop at the proper pace and without much scrutiny, attention, or calls to bring him up prematurely. He's younger than Beavers, Fabian, Wagner, yet he's mashing the ball in AA and only us die hards seem to notice. Nice problems to have.

I have a feeling Mayo is not going to be in the O's system after the trade deadline.

April .883 OPS

May .953

June 1.191

He’s now been on base 33 consecutive games.  

Really, the only wart is that his strikeout rate remains a bit high at 26%.   But that’s not awful for a slugger who is young for his level.   He’s only had 2 PA against pitchers younger than he is.
