Coby Mayo

Mayo, who received $1.75 million (over triple slot value) after the Orioles selected him in the fourth round in 2020, had essentially a perfect pro debut. He hit .319/.426/.555 with nine home runs, a 13.4 BB% and an 18.5 K% in 53 games split evenly between the Florida Complex League and Low-A. The 6-foot-5 third baseman has kept his body in great shape, maintaining strength without adding bad weight, and he was playing at appropriate levels for a 19-year-old slugger. Players who are as big, young and powerful as Mayo typically come with hit tool concerns, but so far that's looking like a major strength of his. While he is a good athlete for his size and position, Mayo's 11 steals on 11 attempts aren't very relevant, as he figures to slow down and lower-level stolen-base totals don't tell us much with any player. He seems to have an excellent eye at the plate, and when he chooses to swing, he typically hits it hard and in the air. Mayo is still at least a couple years away from the majors, but he is looking like a potential Austin Riley-esque middle-of-the-order staple. Read Past Outlooks
