Orioles Calling Up Infield Prospect Coby Mayo

The Orioles are bringing back infield prospect Coby Mayo, a move confirmed by multiple reports. Mayo, 23, is regarded as one of baseball’s top young talents but has struggled to secure consistent playing time due to Baltimore’s crowded infield. After making his major league debut last year and being optioned back multiple times, he entered camp hoping to earn an Opening Day spot before being sent down in mid-March. With established starters occupying key positions, his role has remained uncertain.

Despite his frustration over being optioned, Mayo has continued to excel in the minors, already launching six home runs while boasting a strong .252/.346/.523 slash line and a 130 wRC+ this season. His overall minor league numbers since 2023 reflect impressive production, with a .287/.390/.570 batting line and 149 wRC+ over 1,147 plate appearances. Now back with Baltimore, he’ll aim to carve out a meaningful role within the team’s roster.
