Cade Povich Optioned To Triple-A
4 months agoBaltimore Orioles starting pitching prospect Cade Povich was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. In a corresponding move, Baltimore promoted right-handed pitcher Vinny Nittoli from Triple-A to fill the roster spot. The former third-round selection made his major league debut on June 6 and made seven starts in his first major league stint. Across 33 innings, the southpaw posted a 6.27 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, and an 18:24 BB:K ratio. While his statistics do not look great, he did allow three runs or less in five of his seven starts. However, in the other two starts, he allowed six or more runs, which significantly affected his ratios. Earlier this season at Norfolk, the Nebraska product posted a solid 3.18 ERA and 1.11 WHIP and should be expected to return to the major leagues later this summer once he works out his struggles.
