Samuel Basallo, the Baltimore Orioles' burgeoning catching prospect, is turning heads with his impressive Triple-A performance. Following a rocky start with a .222 batting average last season, he has rebounded dramatically, boasting a .266/.374/.589 slash line this year, including 15 home runs in 46 games. With starting catcher Adley Rutschman now on the injured list, Basallo is an enticing stash for fantasy managers.

As of now, while he hasn't received a call-up, managers should keep an eye on the Orioles' situation. If Rutschman’s recovery doesn’t go as planned, Basallo could see major league action sooner than anticipated. He represents one of the highest power-upside options available at the catcher position, making him a critical asset in the weeks to come.
