When Is Coby Mayo Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 18 Update)

Hold onto your seats fantasy managers because Coby Mayo is about to crash into the big leagues like a fastball into the warehouse at Camden Yards.

This 22-year-old slugger has been absolutely feasting on minor-league pitching, and it's only a matter of time before he's doing the same in the show.

A fourth-round draft pick in 2020, Mayo has been raking over his last 70 games for the Norfolk Tides, batting .311 with 22 home runs, 21 doubles, and 62 RBI, these are video game-like numbers that are getting harder and harder for the Orioles brass to ignore.

Coby Mayo Prospect Update for Fantasy Baseball

Mayo isn't just another all-or-nothing slugger either, this kid's got more layers than a Baltimore crab cake. He's showing a discerning eye at the plate, drawing walks, and keeping his strikeouts in check. It's like he's got the power of Chris Davis (the good years) with the plate discipline of Nick Markakis.

Digging into his game log is like reading a horror novel for opposing pitchers. On July 13, Mayo went full beast mode, going 3-for-6 with a double and crossing the plate twice. A few days earlier, on July 10, he launched another homer, and in his first game back after the All-Star break, he picked up where he left off, going 2-for-5 with a double and run scored in a fireworks-filled 12-11 victory over the Nashville Sounds.

Coby Mayo Outlook for Fantasy Baseball

The bottom line? Coby Mayo isn't just knocking on the door to the majors, he's about to knock it off its hinges. His combination of power, average, and plate discipline is the kind of skillset that doesn't just contribute to a major league lineup -- it anchors it.

For fantasy managers, Mayo is the ultimate stash right now. We're talking about a guy who could potentially hit .280 with 25-30 homer power over a full season. In Baltimore's hitter-friendly confines? Those numbers could be conservative.
