Owen Caissie DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caissie went 3-for-6 on Sunday for Triple-A Iowa. All three hits were singles, and the left-handed hitter scored twice in the contest as well. The effort marked his third multi-hit performance in his last four games, going 7-for-18 (.388) over that stretch and pushing his season slash line to .247/.349/.479. Chicago's outfield remains crowded, so there currently is no path to playing time for the team's third-ranked prospect, but he's sure to make a debut at some point this season. Managers in NL-only leagues should consider stashing him ahead of his eventual call-up, as he brings plenty of power and would be hitting in the top offensive lineup in baseball whenever he gets that chance.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caissie went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Wednesday against Triple-A Columbus. The 22-year-old has struck out at a 34% clip at Triple-A this season, but has combated it with a 13.4% walk rate. He flashed exciting power potential with a strong 115.5 MPH MaxEV last season in Triple-A and boasts a 53% hard hit rate this season. The Cubs' outfield is crowded with good players at the moment, but things can change fast with injuries. With his power potential and the strength of the Cubs' lineup, Caissie would be worth an add if he were to be called up.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caissie went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk for Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday. It was his fifth home run of the season and third straight game with an extra-base hit. The average doesn't jump off the page at .230, but the ability to draw walks continues to keep his OBP afloat, now sitting at a robust .343 for the year. With the Cubs' outfielders rolling at the plate, there is no path to at-bats for Caissie, so it looks like the former second-round draft pick remain in the minors until there is a need, and he'll likely need to show some improvement upon his 35.3 percent strikeout rate he's posted thus far. The 22-year-old left the game early on Tuesday due to muscle cramps, but isn't expected to miss time. Nevertheless, expect a debut later this year, but he is not a stash candidate at this time.
