Powell joined the Orioles after leading the International League in home runs at Rochester in 1961. Offensively- he was an immediate success- hitting 25 home runs in 1963- then leading the American League in slugging percentage (.606) in 1964 while blasting a career-high 39 home runs despite missing several weeks because of a broken wrist. He slumped to .248 with 17 home runs in 1965- then won the American League Comeback player of the Year honors in 1966 (.287- 34 home runs- 109 runs batted in) while being hampered by a broken finger.

Powell hit three home runs in a game three times- and was second only to Eddie Murray on the Orioles all-time home run list before Cal Ripken Jr. surpassed Powell in 1998.
