Samuel Basallo Homers Twice
1 year agoBaltimore Orioles catching prospect Samuel Basallo mashed two home runs in a 3-for-4 showing for High-A Aberdeen on Saturday, and he's now up to 16 home runs this season. The 19-year-old has caught fire with Aberdeen, slashing .396/.500/.792 with four home runs, 14 runs, 14 RBI, four stolen bases, and a 1.11 BB/K ratio in his last 14 games. His massive power stroke and improving hit tool have made their mark this season, putting Basallo on the radar of those in even the shallowest dynasty leagues. Though far from the majors, one of baseball's hottest-hitting catching prospects is worth following in dynasty leagues.
