Samuel Basallo Performing Well In Spring Training
18 seconds agoBaltimore Orioles catching prospect Samuel Basallo has gone 3-for-10 with a home run and two RBI during his first taste of spring training. He has tallied two RBI and only struck out three times. Basallo is considered not only the top prospect in the Baltimore system but also one of the best in baseball. Last season, he received his first full look at Double-A and posted an excellent .289/.355/.465 slash line with 22 doubles and 16 home runs. He held a 41:85 BB:K ratio and swiped nine bags. This performance earned him a taste of Triple-A where he took a step back as he held a .222/.267/.370 line across 22 contests. At Norfolk, he held a 5:27 BB:K ratio with just three long balls. However, given his progression at spring training, he could be poised to bounce-back at Triple-A in 2025. If he can perform well at this level early in the season, he should push for his MLB debut later this summer.
