Another day, another highly touted prospect making his MLB debut for the Orioles. So what else is new?
Three days after Connor Norby arrived in the bigs for the first time, it’s Cade Povich’s turn this afternoon. The 24-year-old lefty checks in as the Orioles’ #9 prospect and their highest-ranked pitcher on that list, and he brings with him an intriguing arm with plenty of potential. Andrea SK detailed everything you need to know about the Birds’ newest arrival, the former Jorge López trade acquisition who has mowed down Triple-A hitters all season. While Povich isn’t viewed as a Grayson Rodriguez-level future ace, he certainly has the upside to be a back end of the rotation type of pitcher, and he fills an immediate need right now for an O’s pitching staff that’s been racked with injuries.
