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 2026.
Sent packing to minors
The Orioles optioned Povich to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
Analysis
Povich was dialed in in a spot start Sunday against the Giants, tossing 6.2 innings of one-run ball while notching five strikeouts. However, with Dean Kremer joining the Orioles' rotation there was no longer a spot for Povich, who will stay stretched out as a member of Norfolk's starting five.

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.
