Samuel Basallo Riding Three-Game Home Run Streak
Samuel Basallo has continued to flash immense power upside at Triple-A and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. In each of his last three games at Norfolk, the top catching prospect in the sport has gone deep at least once and posted two multi-hit performances. Over his last 14 total games with the Tides, Basallo has held an eye-catching .362/.429/.862 slash line with eight doubles, seven home runs, 23 RBI, and an elite 1.301 OPS. Through 71 total games at the top ranks of the Baltimore system this season, the 20-year-old budding superstar has posted a .278/.387/.621 line with 16 doubles and 23 home runs. Given his elite power upside, fantasy managers should continue to view Basallo as a top hitting prospect to stash in all 12+ team leagues. With the Orioles out of the playoff picture, Basallo could make his long-awaited MLB debut in the coming weeks.
