24-Year-Old PitcherSP
Baltimore Orioles
2024 Fantasy Outlook
While Povich lacks a truly special pitch, the 6-foot-3 lefty throws four or five quality pitches and showed improved control early this year in a return to Triple-A as a 24-year-old. He had a 14.7 percent walk rate in 10 starts at Triple-A last year and sports a 9.1 percent walk rate through 11 starts in 2024. This significant improvement suggests Povich should be a good bet to make it as a starter long term, and he could be given that first opportunity before the All-Star break. He throws his 91-94 mph four-seamer over 40 percent of the time while mixing in his cutter, changeup, sweeper and curveball. It seemed like Chayce McDermott and Povich each had a similar chance of breaking through as quality starters for the Orioles this year, but McDermott's control has regressed while the younger Povich's has improved, so Povich is currently the top pitcher in the system to stash.

September 15, 2024
Povich (2-9) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings against the Tigers. He struck out eight.
ANALYSIS
Povich allowed a third-inning homer by Riley Greene that represented the only two runs allowed by the Orioles' righty. Otherwise, Povich pitched well, rebounding from allowing four runs in 4.2 during his last start by fanning eight while allowing only four baserunners prior to being pulled after five having thrown 89 pitches. It's the fifth time through 14 starts that Povich has allowed two or fewer runs while tossing at least five innings. He's slated to get another shot against the Tigers in his next start, this time within the friendly confines of Camden Yards.
