Cowser has 9 HR in 56 games this season with a strong exit velocity around 91.2 mph and 6%+ barrels per plate appearance, signaling legitimate power upside. IL with a concussion, return anticipated late August. If healthy, he offers outfield depth with potential to contribute across AVG, HR, and RBI, especially in a Baltimore offense that supports power.

Cowser’s role grows as Mullins is traded and outfield depth thins; with Beaus revelation, his at-bats should stabilize and offer a pathway to everyday playing time, increasing his fantasy appeal through runs and potential steals if he gains speed and reach.

Cowser has struggled this season (.213/.279/.401 in 56 games) and has faced concussion issues that derailed development. Drafted No. 5 in 2021, he showed early promise but has yet to establish consistent big-league production. His health and role with the Orioles remain pivotal to the club’s long-term upside.

Cowser is gaining momentum as he takes advantage of the Orioles' challenging season, proving himself as a capable contributor in multiple categories, particularly in stolen bases.

Colton Cowser's position in the batting order has fluctuated with Adley Rutschman's return. After struggling in July, he has the potential for improvement if trades impact the lineup.
