Baltimore Orioles player Coby Mayo, who is known as one of the top prospects in baseball, is set to make his debut in the major league this Friday, as reported by various sources. Mayo, at the age of 22, has had an impressive OPS of .929 over the course of four seasons in the minor leagues, starting when he was selected in the fourth round of the 2020 draft from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. MLB Pipeline has ranked Mayo as the 15th best prospect in the league, and he has been performing exceptionally well this season at Triple A-Norfolk, with a batting average of .301, 20 home runs, and 61 RBIs in 77 games.
This opportunity for Mayo to be called up to the major league comes as a result of an unfortunate injury to All-Star infielder Jordan Westburg, who was placed on the 10-day injured list after suffering a broken right hand from being hit by a pitch in a recent game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Orioles will be facing the Guardians in Cleveland for their upcoming game, following a tough loss to the Guardians in their previous match. Despite the setback, Baltimore is currently tied for first place in the American League East with the New York Yankees.
Mayo’s debut in the major league is highly anticipated by baseball fans and analysts alike, as he brings a promising skill set and potential to the Orioles’ lineup. His journey from being a top draft pick to earning a spot in the major league roster is a testament to his hard work and dedication to the sport. As he takes the field on Friday, all eyes will be on Mayo to see how he performs at the highest level of professional baseball.
