Owen Caissie Goes Deep Twice Thursday
Owen Caissie went 2-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI, and an additional run scored in a 12-3 win against Triple-A Omaha. The slugging outfielder is coming off a scorching month of June, where he hit .316/.435/.605 with five homers in 76 at-bats. The 22-year-old's strikeout rate still sits north of 30 percent for the season, but he consistently hits the ball hard with the ability to lift it for power. He's displayed a disciplined approach for his age as well, and is only behind Roman Anthony and Harry Ford for the highest walk rate among hitters age 22 or younger at Triple-A this season. Caissie is currently ranked as the number one prospect in the Cubs system according to MLB.com.
