Turning 19 years old today, Basallo is slashing .214/.313/.333 with three runs, five RBI, and one stolen base through 11 games with Aberdeen. He had a solid season with Single-A Delmarva, slashing .299/.384/.503 with 12 home runs, 52 runs, 60 RBI, and seven stolen bases in 83 games at the Single-A level.
