Baltimore Orioles third base prospect Coby Mayo has been one of the best hitters in the minor leagues this season. Through his second look at Triple-A ball this summer, the 22-year-old has posted a dominant .294/.370/.589 line with 20 home runs, 58 RBI, and a 32:76 BB:K ratio.
This is a big improvement over the .267/.393/.512 slash line he held across his first 62 games at the top level in the minor leagues last season.
Since returning from a rib injury in mid-June, Mayo has continued to post elite numbers with a stellar .302/.385/.575 line which suggests his major league debut could be right around the corner.
Coby Mayo Prospect Update for Fantasy Baseball
The Baltimore Orioles placed infielder Jorge Mateo (elbow) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday, July 25. Mateo is projected to miss a significant amount of time according to Paige Leckie of MLB.com.
Mateo logged 56 starts at the keystone this season. As a result, Jordan Westburg will likely shift to second base more often which could open up the hot corner for Mayo.

Mayo has yet to hit an extended roadblock at Norfolk this summer which means he should be able to adjust to major league pitching fairly quickly and be able to produce for Baltimore in the final months of the regular season.
Coby Mayo Outlook for Fantasy Baseball
Coby Mayo is considered the 15th-best prospect in all of baseball and third-best in a deep Baltimore pipeline on MLB.com. Mayo will provide elite power production when given the call as he has launched 32 home runs across the past two seasons at Triple-A.

He should be rostered in all formats as he could produce elite counting stats and power numbers batting in the heart of one of the best lineups in baseball during the stretch run.
