Owen Caissie Off to Slow Start in Camp
Miami Marlins outfield prospect Owen Caissie has struggled in his first taste of action in spring training. The former 45th overall pick has posted an underwhelming .111/.273/.111 slash with a .384 OPS. Caissie has struck out six times (over nine at-bats) and only drawn two walks. Caissie was shipped to Miami earlier in the winter as the headliner piece in the deal that sent right-hander Edward Cabrera to the Chicago Cubs. Caissie made a brief debut in the majors last summer and posted a similar .192/.222/.346 line over his first 12 games. At Triple-A, Caissie held a .286/.386/.551 line with 28 doubles and 22 home runs over a 99-game stint. While Caissie may endure some growing pains as he finds his footing in the majors, he is a viable late-round depth outfielder with upside as he should face little competition for everyday at-bats in Miami.
