Samuel Basallo Tallies Five Hits in Impressive Showing
Samuel Basallo (oblique) enjoyed an impressive showing in his return on Friday evening. The top prospect was dealing with an oblique injury over the past week. However, he was able to avoid a stint on the injured list. In his return on Friday evening, facing Triple-A Lehigh Valley, the backstop went 5-for-5 with a double and a long ball. This was his first five-hit game of the campaign. Over his last seven games, the 20-year-old has posted a remarkable .481/.548/1.111 slash line with five doubles and four home runs. Through 63 total games with the Norfolk Tides, Basallo has posted a .282/.395/.624 line. Given his elite production at Triple-A, the catcher should be viewed as a priority stash in all standard leagues.
