Orioles prospect absolutely destroys home run

Baltimore Orioles prospect Coby Mayo showed off some ridiculous power on Thursday.

Mayo homered in the top of the ninth inning to break an 8-8 tie between his Triple-A Norfolk Tides and the Columbus Knights at Truist Field in Charlotte, N.C.

That Mayo got every piece of the ball would be an understatement. Take a look:

Coby Mayo, MLB's No. 29 prospect, sizzles a 106.6 mph no-doubt homer.

That ball was obliterated. We don’t need Statcast to tell you what our eyes could see: that ball went far. Very far.

Mayo was a fourth-round pick by the O’s in 2020 out of Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. The 6-foot-5 third baseman has clubbed 59 home runs during his minor league career. As you can see, the guy can crush the ball.
