Samuel Basallo Launches 13th Long Ball
Baltimore Orioles catching prospect Samuel Basallo broke out of his slump by launching his 13th home run of the season on Thursday. Basallo entered that game with a 10-game power slump, where he carried a disappointing .237 SLG. The 19-year-old has struggled to find consistency at the plate this month as he sports a season-low .220/.350/.380 line through July. Overall, the backstop has performed quite well in his first extended look at Double-A pitching as he sits with a .271/.341/.448 line. Basallo could earn a small taste of Triple-A later this summer and should contend for a major league debut next season.
