Owen Caissie is a fantasy baseball OF prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Owen Caissie, OF, Chicago Cubs
ANALYSIS: Canadian Owen Caissie was drafted in the second round by the San Diego Padres in 2020. Before he was able to make his pro debut, he was part of the five-player package that the Padres sent to Chicago in exchange for Yu Darvish and Victor Caratini.
Caissie has struggled to stay consistently healthy since his impressive debut in 2021 which saw him earn his way to full-season ball with seven homers and a .302 average in 54 games. Last season was not as kind, but Caissie hit .306 with four home runs in April this year and hasn't slowed down since. He now has a .285/.394/.545 slash line and 20 home runs in 90 games at Double-A.
As he's moved up the system, strikeouts have become more concerning for Caissie, as he's struck out 32% of the time this year, even though he does offer a 14% walk rate.
VERDICT: Caissie opened the Double-A season as a 20-year-old, so he has plenty of time to continue to develop. He's only a deep dynasty play right now, but hitting like this in Double-A is going to put him on the radar for shallower leagues by year's end.
Congratulations Owen Caissie on being MiLB's Southern League Player of the Week! Last week, Caissie batted .444 with 7 RBIs and 2 HRs! @owen_caissie #BestYearEver pic.twitter.com/1NG7kZvdd5
