There were a lot of people getting impatient with the Baltimore Orioles about their lack of willingness to promote one of their top prospects, Coby Mayo.
Considered Top 5 in their pipeline, and one of the best in all of baseball by multiple publications, the slugging third baseman watched his peers get called up to The Show while he had to stay patient in the minors.
Eventually, his long-awaited promotion came on August 2, but much like Jackson Holliday during his first stint in the Majors, Mayo is struggling at the plate.
The 6-foot-5 third baseman has failed to pick up his first career hit, having gone 0-for-13 with eight strikeouts in his five games.
Mayo discussed why he thinks he’s struggling in the MLB after putting up fantastic numbers at the Triple-A level despite being younger than the majority of pitchers he was facing during his tenure with that affiliate.
