2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mayo has a near-flawless track record as a hitter. The corner infielder's age-21 season was a tour de force across Double-A and Triple-A, as he slashed .290/.410/.563 with 29 homers, a 24.1 K%, 15.1 BB%, 35.1 Hard% and 15.7 Soft% in 140 games. His groundball rate was below 36% at both stops, and Mayo had an elite 106.6-mph 90th percentile exit velocity at Triple-A. He doesn't have the most aesthetically pleasing swing, but from an impact and swing-decision standpoint, Mayo passes any evaluation with high marks. The two biggest knocks on him for fantasy are things that are outside his control. He hits right handed and Oriole Park at Camden Yards was 34% worse than league average for righty homers in 2023 and 19% worse than league average in 2022, per Baseball Savant. Last year, it was the third-worst park for righty power. Additionally, Baltimore will likely need to clear room ahead of him on the organizational depth chart via a trade in order for Mayo to see MLB time early in 2024. He appears to be big-league ready but with nowhere to play, making him a high-variance option in draft-and-hold formats. For instance, a Ryan Mountcastle trade would significantly increase Mayo's short-term appeal, but no such move is guaranteed. He saw more time at third base than first base in 2023, but he profiles best with this team at first base and designated hitter long term. Read Past Outlooks
Will focus on third base in camp
Mayo will get most of his reps in big-league camp at third base, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mayo will also see time at first base and could work out in right field as well. The Orioles believe third base gives Mayo the quickest path to the majors, especially with Gunnar Henderson (oblique) limited to start the spring. That said, Mayo could require a little more time at Triple-A Norfolk before contending for a major-league spot. He slashed .267/.393/.512 with Norfolk over 62 contests after a midseason promotion in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Mayo is a decent buy-low target in dynasty leagues this offseason, as his most recent stat line (.250/.331/.398, 34.5 K%, .148 ISO in 34 games at Double-A) undersells his realistic potential. The Orioles have flipped the switch to contention, so the days of them slow-cooking their best prospects in the minors are over. Mayo getting pushed from High-A, where he slashed .251/.326/.494 with a 21.5 K% and .243 ISO while getting a little unlucky (.275 BABIP) as a 20-year-old, to Double-A was an aggressive promotion from Baltimore. The player type matters here too, as the typical big (6-foot-5, 215 pounds) power-hitting corner infielders can be slower to develop than contact-oriented middle infielders. Strikeouts will be part of the package with Mayo over the next couple years against upper-level and big-league pitching, but he could eventually develop an above-average hit tool to go with his plus power. Additionally, Mayo could develop even more power as he continues to fill out his frame. The Orioles will have a stacked depth chart by the time Mayo is ready for the majors, so he may have to move to first base, right field or designated hitter.
