Overview

  • Coby Mayo, the Orioles' second-ranked prospect, earned a third MLB call-up on May 3, filling in for injured infielder Ramón Urías.
  • Mayo has struggled in his early MLB appearances, going hitless in five at-bats since his return and hitting just .098 during his prior stints in 2024.
  • The 23-year-old rediscovered his form in Triple-A Norfolk, hitting .304 since April 8, following a slow start to the season.
  • Manager Brandon Hyde plans to adjust Mayo's playing time based on matchups, with competition from veteran Emmanuel Rivera and the eventual return of Urías and Jordan Westburg.
  • Mayo has adopted a new mindset, focusing on reducing pressure and maintaining the approach that brought him success in the minors.
