Owen Caissie Gets on Base Three Times in All-Star Futures Game
Owen Caissie didn't let the All-Star Futures Game slow him down, going 1-for-2 with two walks and an RBI double in the contest that saw the NL squad emerge victorious over the AL team by a score of 4-2. Over his last nine games for Triple-A Iowa, the Cubs' top prospect has gone 14-for-35 (.400) with eight home runs, 10 RBI, 15 runs scored, and a 10:8 BB:K. For the season, the left-handed slugger is slashing .278/.386/.575 with 19 home runs and a strong 14.0 percent walk rate, although it comes with a 30.2 percent strikeout rate. The 23-year-old should make his MLB debut this season, but with a crowded outfield in Chicago, there is no path to at-bats at the moment. Managers in very deep and NL-only leagues in need of some power production should consider stashing the former second-round draft pick ahead of his eventual call-up.
