PROSPECT: Cade Povich, SP, Baltimore Orioles
ERIC CROSS' LATEST PROSPECT RANKING: #13
CALL-UP ETA: May
ANALYSIS: Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Cade Povich improved to 3-1 with another strong performance for Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday. The lefty tossed six innings and allowed five hits, one run, four walks, and struck out five on the evening. Povich has been dominant this season for Norfolk and is the proud owner of a minuscule 1.11 ERA. More impressive is the swing-and-miss ability that Povich provides with 45 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings.
At this point, Povich, like many of his teammates at Norfolk has shown he is worthy of the next step, but the Orioles big-league roster is just too good to deploy all their young talent at the moment. The Orioles did place ace Grayson Rodriguez on the 15-day injured on Tuesday, but starting pitchers Kyle Bradish and John Means are both returning to the Orioles rotation. Povich should get a chance at some point in 2024, but he will need another injury or Means or Bradish to struggle to get the call. Povich will be worth adding in most formats when his name does get called, or you can stash him now.
Cade Povich racks up five punchouts over six frames of one-run ball for the Triple-A @NorfolkTides.
