Cade Povich Continues To Impress
2 years 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 made a big impact this past week, allowing just three hits, one walk, and zero runs over five innings of work. Most notably, he struck out 10 batters along the way. If the 23-year-old can continue to dominate the minors, he'll climb through the ranks rather quickly.
