Happy Friday, Orioles 3B prospect Coby Mayo hit the longest HR I’ve seen in Sarasota. Trumbo, Adley, Junior Caminero all move down a spot. Look at the fan in the PARKING LOT turn and hustle to catch it! This kid can mash💪🏻

Notice that although the Blue Jay and the Oriole start together that the Jay has no staying power and leaves due to a weak foundation (system)
The Oriole has no problem staying on and continuing to eat

Confident that this is the Bradish video fans wanted to see today

BREAKING:
It was yesterday that O’s C prospect Creed Willems said he was trying to ‘hit his way out of here’ through a smile. Now the smile’s even bigger!
The 2021 draftee is moving up to Delmarva. O’s fans are gonna love what they see. Congrats to him & his family
#risingtide
OF Heston Kjerstad has been up to speed with the lumber early on. Suarez comes in & HK leans in to his second pitch to take him oppo for the knock. Impressive
#offense
#hitter
The future of Birdland is on display! Jackson Holliday triples to score Enrique Bradfield and tie the game at 5. O’s have so much talent it’s everywhere!

Hey O’s fans, sorry you can’t see this but I got you. The prospects are doing just fine. Here’s Joey Ortiz driving in Heston Kjerstad for the 1st run of the spring

The O’s asked me to stop filming this workout which stinks bc I just watched Coby hit 3 in a row over 103mph incl a HR that just kept going and going to CF. He and Cowser are testing the atmosphere and Holliday is lacing liners
#orioles
OF prospect Colton Cowser rolls off the field after some drills this am at camp. Doesn’t appear he’s in todays lineup but I’ll be watching
#milb
From sources: John Means and Zach Peek threw lives Saturday at the Stadium. 2 inns each head to head. Both headed out for rehab starts next week. Great news on the recovery front!
O’s FANS HERE IS COBY MAYO’s 1st PRO HOME RUN COURTESY OF HIS MOM AND DAD!!!!!!!
Congrats to them and all of
#birdland
Go ahead
@cobymayox
and here’s to a few hundred more!
Prospects are doing pretty well in Sarasota. Here’s Heston Kjerstad going oppo for the 3-run dinger to make it 5-3. These kids can absolutely play

Congrats to the top prospect in the sport, his wife & the entire Holliday family. Have seen Jackson & Chloe together at tourneys for years. It was a star-studded Saturday. The best 📹came from

Orioles catching prospect Adley Rutschman scrapes the solar system with this uppercut at minicamp today. This one went over a 75 ft tall fence 400+ ft away. I rushed to grab it….
What I want is for Orioles fans to see as much of what I see as possible. Today it was lots of

pick Jackson Holliday. The cage & defense vids show that he’s great at making a tough sport look kind of easy

Loud sounds off the bat coming from IF Jordan Westburg, Colton Cowser, Connor Norby & Coby Mayo. O’s fans, I wish you could all be here seeing/hearing this…..

fans the ext spring team has a home & home vs Atlanta MON/TUE. If you’re in town you should make the trip to Northport on Tuesday as All-Star John Means will be making a start. He’s coming back! Very exciting news & I’ll do my best to get footage for you⬛️🟧
OF Heston Kjerstad has had some loud rounds of BP in Sarasota. This one stands out. The stroke is clean & stays on path but look at where the ⚾️goes upon contact. What a wicked swing
#power
#impact
Someone has been boasting about Heston Kjerstad for a while. Well today he debuted with 2HR & this clean single. Doubt him if you’d like but the guy’s game is legit
#futurestar
Here to tell you that if it bounces twice to just put it in your pocket, you’re not getting Bradfield out. Here he uses his once in a generation wheels to create the O’s 1st run. They throw it away & Coby Mayo scoots home after reaching on a BB
#offense
#prospects
#fast
I put one Oriole above all the rest of them & tonight I got to tell him. We all have our favorites, and Eddie Murray drove in every clutch run of my childhood. The 1st name I think of when I brag about my team now & always. He made me love baseball
#HOF
🟧⬛️BREAKING: confirmed O’s RHP Seth Johnson gun readings🟧⬛️
He sat 92-96 & touched 98mph. Wow!!!
Would not be shocked if that was the swinging strike 3 to Valdez here.
Great news post-TJ. O’s have another truly elite arm on the rise

OF prospect Heston Kjerstad has looked outstanding in camp.
@FLProspectPod
has discussed some of the elite OF in the minors; Jasson, Jrod, Heriberto, Hassel, Veen, etc. When can we add Bmore’s 2nd pick to the mix?
#futurestar
#prospects
Somehow O’s 3B prospect Coby Mayo came back with increased exit velocity after last season. Id be shocked if this middle wasn’t 115mph at least. His cagexsessions today were ‘intense’ Somebody worked out
#strength
#hitter
For all those dan clark types who just default to ‘they tanked’
You’re not even close to correct. Now that a TV talking head spells it out to you maybe it’ll become clear. They draft and develop the right picks
The

' recent draft history is unprecedently good 📈
BK, Tom Verducci and
@markdero7
discuss the success and their focus on taking position players.
#MLBNow
Orioles RHP prospect Seth Johnson has returned! His 1st batter, Toledo strikes out on a nasty offspeed. Then for the 3rd out he gets Valdez on heat. Welcome to the Orioles!
#pitcher
Uhhhh DL Hall is going to be a problem. Three up, three down, three punch outs in the first inning of his sim game. Manager Pat Murphy said today the
#Brewers
want Hall to win a job in the rotation, and he was effusive in his praise for the lefty’s changeup. Checks out.
Orioles 3B prospect Coby Mayo has improved his power skill set (somehow) since last yr. Core strength is on display with each shot out of the stadium. Can’t wait for the season to start, he’s batting 4th

I just got news that there’s an Orioles IF prospect en route to MD’s Eastern Shore. Fred Bencosme has played well & learned a lot in his short time here. Let’s see how he handles affiliated ball. CONGRATS to him. Let’s all support the kid!!
#risingtide
#infield
Orioles LHP prospect Cade Povich is a consistent strike thrower. It appears he’s about to enter a competition for high minors innings armed with a well-developed arsenal.
#orioles
IF prospect Connor Norby goes deep to extend the lead in Durham. The Bulls brought in a sidearming lefty & Norby took him out for the 2-run shot

🟧⬛️1 look at Gunnar, I knew. Then I saw Coby at a draft camp, it was easy to tell. Finally, Sam. One ridiculously explosive swing & he convinced me.
Now yet another O’s prospect makes ⚾️ look uncommonly easy.
Dylan Beavers is next. Hope these hacks make you smile
#impact
Today O’s fans got:
-A baseball season
-Still picking no 1 in June
-No rule 5 (keep their players)
-Less AL East games going forward
-DL Hall, Vavra etc back w/squads.
-Minors action in SW FL heating up
Don’t look past what a great day this was for

We’re happy but the fan behind the net is really feeling it🟧⬛️

This is how you show your bosses a higher level of readiness than they expected

Oriole fans I’m 600 ft away. It’s raining. My view is obstructed. But I’m here so you have video evidence of prospect Heston Kjerstad getting a hit in a scrimmage

🟧⬛️Jackson Holliday’s contact on his first XBH ignites Enrique Bradfield’s wheels so we can see how easily & instantly he reaches top speed. Bradfield motors home to give Holliday his first RBI too. Aren’t prospects the best? The future is here!

@BNightengale
This is about the depth of your understanding which makes it so strange that you are considered an expert. Not only are the possibilities of deep playoff advancement minuscule, but holding the end of bad contracts is exactly what held the org back. How does anybody trust you?
Coby Mayo drives in 2 with a scorching double down the left field line. He’s a run production machine. O’s up 6-4 on his clutch 8th inning at-bat. Get used to that
#RBI
#XBH
LHP Cade Povich was on the mound working to Adley Rutschman. First grounder gave 3B Coby Mayo a chance to make a play. Mullins has it in CF & Cade ended the inning with his first k vs a big leaguer, Jose Siri
🟧⬛️Ryan O’Hearn has been on the ball no matter what type of pitch so far. He had the tater pulled out to RCF days ago & this was an impressive oppo liner off RHP Garrett Stallings who looked pretty darn good disturbing some timing

BREAKING: Outfielders Heston Kjerstad and Craig Lewis are now listed as members of the Delmarva Shorebirds roster! That team is absolutely loaded with talent!!!!
🟧⬛️O’s SS Gunnar Henderson has multi-hit games at Ed Smith Stadium on his resumè. Tonight’s was his first in a while. Let’s watch how he did it
Looks like his swing is back to top form just like that

#superstar
Body language experts look here: Awkward video of thrifty PIT owner Bob Nutting & the star OF he’s underpaying by a large margin, Bryan Reynolds. Wonder what they’re discussing🤔
Watching the camps it’s apparent that Colton Cowser carries himself like a big leaguer. He also hits like one. Check how fast this homer gets to the back of the bleachers. You can call him a platoon player if you’d like, I’m going to disagree with that.
#athlete
🟧⬛️Jack Brannigan gave it a ride but
#orioles
OF prospect Enrique Bradfield had his eyes on it with his glove up & made the tough catch appear easy. Let’s all look forward to more defense like this in the near future🟧⬛️
#skills
#outfield
🟧⬛️If you haven’t started to believe in him it might be too late. Coby’s offensive abilities are far from typical. Enjoy the final stages of development & please, please catch a BP or two if you can
O’s OF prospect Colton Cowser had a heck of a day in the cages. Spraying line drives to all fields with his level swing the decibel level was consistent and enjoyable. This guy can hit
#skills
#prospect
Living in Sarasota I never take for granted how close I am to the Orioles system. Please know that whoever is added tonight I’ll hang over fences, dig under gates and burn in the sun to make sure that you see them play & move. Praise be to my phone🙏🏻
