The top prospect for the Baltimore Orioles hits a huge home run during a spring training game.
Baltimore Orioles top prospect Samuel Basallo impressed fans with an absolute mammoth home run on Friday as the Orioles took on the Toronto Blue Jays in Grapefruit League action.
Basallo, 20, was signed back in 2021 and is predicted to make his debut this season, according to MLB.com. MLB Pipeline has him ranked as the No. 13 prospect in all of baseball entering the season.
He hit .278 last year in the minor leagues, reaching as high as Triple-A, though he played just 21 games there. In total, he had 19 homers and 65 RBI
When Basallo is ready, it will be interesting to see how he fits on the roster, given that Adley Rutschman is one of the game’s top catchers.
