Samuel Basallo is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 13 (2025). Target Samuel Basallo as a top prospect waiver wire stash for fantasy baseball.

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues

CALL-UP ETA: June

ANALYSIS: You looked away? Samuel Basallo just hit another homer in Triple-A. One of the best hitters in the minor leagues is truly slamming the door down to the majors.

Long-time time STS darling and current #1 overall prospect SLAMMiN' Samuel Basallo is simply 🔥 ON FIRE 🔥

Tonight he launched ANOTHER home run, and as of now is slashing .270/.385/.605.

Is he somehow...underrated? Time for a promotion? ⏳️

Basallo has a 154 WRC+ with 15 HRs in only 44 games. Hitting for that much power while not having a major strikeout problem (24.6%) is an incredible feat for a prospect at any level, but for a guy who is only 20 at Triple-A, you can't say enough about Basallo.

However, the Orioles are in the basement of the AL East without strong prospects of moving up the standings. It's time for them to commit to letting their young prospects play at the big league level, and part of that is calling up Basallo. With backstop Adley Rutschman hitting the injured list, Basallo could find a viable path to reach the majors in the coming weeks.

When he gets the call, you can slot him in as a top 10 catcher right away with upside to be top five soon.
