Colton Cowser Homers, Continues Red Hot Spring
9 months agoBaltimore Orioles top outfield prospect Colton Cowser went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 spring win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cowser led off the third inning with a solo blast off southpaw Martin Perez for his third spring homer. The 23-year-old continues to mash and is slashing .364/.563/.1.182 with three home runs, six RBI, and a stolen base over six games. He has also reached base in nine of 16 plate appearances. Cowser struggled in his first call-up to the majors, hitting just .115 over 77 plate appearances in 2023. He retooled his swing during the offseason, and it's paid off so far after a blistering start this spring. The 2021 first-round pick slashed .300/.417/.520 with 17 home runs and nine steals across 87 games with Triple-A Norfolk last season. Cowser is competing for a spot on Baltimore's Opening Day roster and is worth a late-round flier in most fantasy leagues if he continues to rake.
