Scouting Report: Colton Cowser
Baltimore Orioles | LF
Overall
Summary
Colton Cowser, a 2021 first-round pick, is struggling significantly in 2026 after a promising 2024 rookie season (.242/.321/.768 with 24 HRs). Following multiple injuries in 2025 (fractured thumb, broken ribs from wall collision, concussion), Cowser's performance has deteriorated dramatically. Currently batting .179/.282/.209, well below expectations for a bat-first prospect. The Orioles' front office is facing scrutiny as both Cowser and Coby Mayo represent major regression from homegrown talent, creating a significant weak point in the lineup despite recent free agent signings.
Strengths
- Elite minor league track record (.300/.916 OPS over three MiLB seasons)
- Strong 2024 rookie season (24 HRs, 69 RBIs in 153 games)
