Hidden Gems: Fantasy Baseball Players Poised for Explosive Value Surges at the MLB Trade Deadline
Owen Caissie – OF, Chicago Cubs
Caissie is another top prospect who could be traded at the deadline and land in a starting spot. The 22-year-old is hitting .278/.377/.563 with 20 home runs and three steals at Triple-A Iowa this year. He has a 29.3% strikeout rate, which is a bit of a concern, but a more palatable 12.3% swinging strike rate and 72.5% contact rate. He has some swing-and-miss in his game, but he’s also taking too many called strikes that get him into bad counts. If he were to be traded into full-time at-bats, his batting average would likely settle around .230-.240, at least for this season, but the power could be immediately impactful.
