The Baltimore Orioles continue to assess the progress of young hitters Dylan Beavers, Jackson Holliday, and Coby Mayo as the 2026 season nears its conclusion. While the roster has faced inconsistent contributions from veteran players, these three individuals remain in the organization's long-term plans. Coby Mayo has shown significant power against left-handed pitchers, though he continues to navigate defensive challenges at the hot corner. Jackson Holliday has struggled to find his rhythm at the plate following a hamate bone injury that hindered his ability to generate power throughout the year. Meanwhile, Dylan Beavers has maintained an ability to reach base despite missing time with an oblique strain. The organization now faces decisions regarding how much playing time to guarantee this trio during the 2027 season as the team shifts focus toward building a more consistent winning lineup.
- •Coby Mayo maintains an OPS+ of 110 despite struggles against right-handed pitching.
- •Jackson Holliday played 92 games this season after recovering from hamate bone surgery.
- •Dylan Beavers recorded a 101 OPS+ while splitting time in the outfield.
- •All three players currently face defensive consistency issues according to Fielding Run Value metrics.
