BALTIMORE — Cade Povich was so nervous for his MLB debut last Thursday that he had trouble sleeping and couldn’t eat breakfast. The 24-year-old left-hander expected to feel the same anxiety Wednesday, when he returned to the mound for his second big league start and debut at Camden Yards.
Sure enough, Povich did it, again trying to eat his last meal before the start.
“It’s still a little difficult to eat lunch,” Povich said. “I was able to go down a little more.”
But the Orioles’ No. 9 prospect according to MLB Pipeline didn’t look as nervous once he stepped on the mound in Baltimore.
Povich blanked the Braves in six scoreless innings, turning in a superb performance in the Orioles’ 4-2 victory. The left-hander scattered five hits, allowed no walks and collected six strikeouts for the O’s (45-22), who extended their winning streak to a season-high six games with on Colton Cowser’s decisive two-run homer in the eighth.
After allowing six runs in 5 1/3 innings in his first start in Toronto, Povich fared much better this time around. He retired eight of Atlanta’s first nine batters and escaped several jams, stranding two baserunners in the fourth and sixth during an 89-pitch outing.
Each offering of Povich’s five-pitch mix worked, as he generated 14 whiffs — six with his curveball, three with four fastballs, two each with his sweeper and changeup and one with a cutter. He relied primarily on his four-seamer (40 times) and curveball (23) to earn a spot in the Braves’ lineup while throwing 70.8 percent of his pitches for strikes.
“That’s something we talked about a lot with him late in the spring, about command and the importance of mastering your fastball and being able to land offspeed in the number of fastballs for strikes , and he did all that tonight,” manager Brandon Hyde said. . “The curveball was really good. The cutter was good. He had life in his fastball. I just threw a ton of strikes and did an incredible job.
This is only the fifth time an Orioles pitcher has gone six or more scoreless innings with more than six strikeouts in his first or second MLB outing, joining Mike Wright Jr. (2015), Tom Phoebus (twice in 1966) and Charlie Beamon (’56).
Hyde and several Baltimore players praised Povich for the advance work he put in before his debut. The morning of the start, he was sitting in the visitors’ clubhouse at the Rogers Center, fixated on his iPad, doing his homework on the Blue Jays’ hitters.
Povich was even better prepared to face the Braves, citing the knowledge he already gained from the other five members of the Orioles’ six-man rotation.
“Learning from some of our other starters throughout this week,” Povich said, “I picked up some cues just to be ready to start, who I’m facing.”
It helps that Povich is now on one of the best teams in baseball this season. During the final round, Baltimore’s six starters combined to post a 1.01 ERA (four earned runs in 35 2/3 innings), with Povich fitting right into a rotation that ranks third in MLB with a 2.96 ERA behind only the Phillies (2.69). and Yankees (2.79).
Povich was so impressive that he’s already drawing comparisons to one of the best lefties in the big leagues — Atlanta’s Max Fried, who got off to an unusually rough start on the same mound a night earlier (four runs allowed in addition to five rounds). .
“We were joking on the bench. Me and (outfielder Kyle Stowers) were talking about how he looks like “Fried Light.” He looks like Max up there,” Cowser said. “A bit of the same construction. He has some very good things.
The Orioles have not announced how long they will remain with a six-man rotation. But Povich is quick to make a case for staying in the big leagues for the long term.
If that happens, Povich should start to feel a little more comfortable – at least as much as he can on starting day.
“Today I could feel my body a little more,” Povich said. “I mean, it’s still baseball, and the job is to win. I go out there, I feel like myself and I just try to stay on offense. … It’s just about calming everything down, making pitches.
