There are many reasons to root for the success of Coby Mayo, not the least of which is that he has a name created to be spoken by Baltimore-area natives. But when will the Camden Yards faithful finally get the chance to call his name?
Drafted as a third baseman out of Stoneman Douglas High School in the fourth round of the 2020 draft, the 20-year-old Mayo started 2022 with the High-A Aberdeen IronBirds. He had already gotten some positive attention for his offensive performance in 2021 in the Florida Coast League and Low-A Delmarva Shorebirds, and that continued in Aberdeen.
