PROSPECT: Cade Povich, SP, Baltimore Orioles
CURRENT LEVEL: Triple-A
2024 STATS: 2 G, 2 GS, 1-0, 11.0 IP, 0.82 ERA, 1.97 FIP, 11.45 K/9, 2.45 BB/9, 0.00 HR/9, 40.9 GB%, .136 BABIP
ANALYSIS: The Orioles' Triple-A team can shut you down with their bats and their pitching thanks to their organizational embarrassment of riches. Cade Povich was no stranger to our Hot Prospects series last year, and he quickly returns to the list in 2024. The southpaw has a solid four-pitch mix headlined by his mid-90s fastball, but he's just as effective when throwing his slider, curveball, and changeup. Control has been an issue for him in the past, but he's maintained an impressive 11.45 K/9 and 2.45 BB/9 this season.
Cade Povich continues his dominant start to the season with 9 K's in 5 IP for the @NorfolkTides:

Povich was dominant last week as he made his first two starts of the season. Through 11 innings, he allowed just one run on three hits and three walks. He also struck out 14 batters. Look for Povich to reach the majors this season, perhaps sooner rather than later.
