Samuel Basallo News
Baltimore Orioles catching prospect Samuel Basallo has been showcasing his elite power potential this past week and added another home run on Friday. Basallo is now up to five home runs on the season and has hit four of them in his past four games. The 19-year-old has a .256/.284/.456 stat line with two stolen bases and 14 RBI in his first full taste of Double-A. He played only four games at this level last year and spent the majority of his time with Single and High-A, hitting a combined .313/.402/.551 with 20 home runs. The 16th-ranked prospect in baseball is beginning to show his incredible power at Double-A but needs to show more consistency at the plate to reach Triple-A this summer. He should be rostered in all dynasty and keeper formats but will have a hard path to seeing relevancy in redraft this year.
Baltimore Orioles catcher/first base prospect Samuel Basallo went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and solo home run for Double-A Bowie on Sunday. The 19-year-old has been off to a good start this season and is hitting .253 with three homers and eight RBI over his first 79 at-bats. Even at a young age, Basello has hit the ball very hard and has elite-level exit velocities. He also has shown good plate discipline and that helps him make good contact at the dish. Defense has never been Basallo's strong suit and he has started to shift from catcher to first base this season. Dynasty managers should consider Basallo, but those in redraft leagues can avoid the young bat with it very unlikely that he will make an impact at the big-league level in 2024.
Baltimore Orioles catcher prospect Samuel Basallo is picking up right where he left off in Double-A. Basallo has tallied six hits across his first five games with one double and two RBI. Last season, Basallo knocked seven hits in four games with one double and one triple in his small taste of Double-A. Basallo is ranked as the second overall catching prospect in baseball and the number two overall prospect in the Baltimore pipeline, according to MLB Pipeline. If Basallo continues to succeed at Double-A, he should be promoted to Triple-A rather quickly and could even make a case for a late-season call-up to join the Orioles in their playoff push. Basallo remains a coveted player in dynasty formats but could be worth stashing in deeper redraft and keeper leagues if he is promoted to Triple-A.
