Standard operating procedure for most of our prospects. I'm OK with it. He was clearly pressing. 

I don't disagree, but a hit and a walk is the kind of thing that can give a player some confidence, and relax a bit. I don' think being send down will damage his confidence, but it's a bummer that he won't get to build upon that game.

I think the Orioles were taking the opposite approach. Decided a while ago they wanted him to go back with a checklist to work on, but didn't want to send him down without getting that first major league hit out of the way.

He went out on a high note, so that 's good

He'll be back in SEP.

 

They got the headline they wanted when they wanted it and his performance allows him to get sent back down.

 

Now they'll keep his Rookie status for 2025.  Good.

Is there a reason Mayo hasn’t played in any games since being sent back for to Norfolk?
