Would Mayo be able to develop into a better defensive RF than Kjerstad?  That arm would certainly play nicely in RF, but hard to know since he hasn't played any OF yet.  I wonder if they've had Mayo take fly balls before games or in Spring Training.

I worry about him getting psyched out by Walltimore but if he can overcome that he looks like a mainstay.

Me too.  Especially if the plan moves Kjerstad to 1B.

I bet they move it in a bit, and move the bullpen/smooth the wall, with the new stadium deal.

Yeah, Elias hinted as much.

His home runs go so far typically that Walltimore should not affect him unless it somehow gets in his head like it did with Mountcastle. Personally I think Mayo is very mentally tough and has shown an above average knowledge of what pitchers are trying to do to him and then make adjustments.

I think it’s more likely that the Wall will be psyched out by Mayo.

While Mayo easily has the power to clear the Wall, he’s going to lose some homers out there just like anyone else.  But my sense is that he became more of an all-fields hitter in 2023 compared to 2021-22.   I’m not worried about it.

He's certainly had to overcome something far worse than an outfield wall already...I think he'll be ok.

"That one just landed"  He rattled off a full paragraph of info during the hang time on the bomb.  I'm not worried about the wall.

I have a feeling Mayo is a candidate to hit the longest HR ever at Camden Yards.

Didnt Mounty blast one 471 feet this year?  Over the Bullpens?

The By-line says February but it has a HR from June so...?
