Cade Povich Delivers Another Fantastic Outing
1 year agoBaltimore Orioles pitching prospect Cade Povich is a talented southpaw who was selected in the third round of the 2021 draft by the Twins before being flipped at the trade deadline. While he may not have been viewed as the absolute centerpiece of that trade at the time, he has quickly emerged as a rising star in the Orioles' system. A mid-90s fastball headlines Povich's well-rounded, five-pitch repertoire. In addition to the heater, he boasts a changeup, slider, curveball, and cutter. The breaking balls both have dramatic break on them and should develop into effective putaway pitches. Povich remained brilliant this past week, striking out a whopping 13 batters over seven innings of work during Thursday's win against Richmond. To cap things off, he allowed just one hit and zero walks along the way. Everything seems to be going right for Povich, who has now been featured in RotoBaller's "Hot MLB Prospects To Know" series three times in 2023. His promotion to Triple-A should come sooner rather than later.
