2026 Fantasy Outlook
Povich logged 112.1 innings and struck out 118 batters for the Orioles last season, but he never was able to settle into a consistent groove. The left-hander made 20 starts and two bulk relief appearances but covered six innings on just four occasions, and he never had a month where his ERA was lower than 4.61. Povich is a 25-year-old lefty who has put up a 30.4 percent strikeout rate in the minors, and that in and of itself makes him intriguing. However, while he throws a wide array of pitches, none of them really stand out in their current form. Some tweaks here are required before Povich can become a reliable fantasy asset.

Signed a one-year contract with the Orioles in March of 2025.
Promising start in spring training
Povich allowed one hit and one walk in two scoreless innings during Monday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta. He struck out one.
Analysis
The Orioles have a quartet of arms battling for a roster spot this spring either as a sixth starter or bulk reliever, and Povich did his part Monday to keep himself under consideration. Zach Eflin (back) is expected to be a full participant at camp, though it remains to be seen when he'll make his spring debut. For now, Povich has Dean Kremer, Tyler Wells and Brandon Young as his primary competition.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
After being called up in June, Povich initially struggled against major-league hitters, going 1-7 with a 6.58 ERA over his first 11 starts. The lefty was demoted by the Orioles several times before finding his groove in September when he posted a 2.60 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB over 27.2 innings. Povich, a third-round pick in 2021, lacks high-end velocity but throws the kitchen sink. His minor-league numbers hint at room for growth with his strikeout rate and the team context is favorable -- even as the left-field wall in Baltimore is moving in. His performance over the final month might give him the inside track for one of the final rotation spots, but Povich will have to solidify his role in spring training.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Plenty of rotation competition
Povich could have a hard time earning a spot in Baltimore's Opening Day rotation with the club acquiring Shane Baz and Zach Eflin this winter.
Analysis
Povich seemed to have a decent chance of earning a rotation spot at the start of the offseason, but the Orioles have made a strong push to improve their roster this winter. The left-hander had a 5.21 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 118:43 K:BB across 112.1 innings last season.
