Unveiling Baseball’s Future Legends: Meet the 2026 Fantasy Prospects Set to Dominate Your League
6) Samuel Basallo — C/DH, Baltimore Orioles
Why he can help: Basallo is not only one of the top hitting prospects in baseball, he’s also one of the few prospects who appears to have a clear path to immediate playing time. That matters, obviously, as does the fact that he’s someone you can play behind the plate. There’s enormous power in his left-handed bat, and while he is far from immune to strikeouts, he’s made enough hard contact in the minors to suggest that hitting for average isn’t a lost cause, either. He should be the starting designated hitter for the Orioles while occasionally spelling Adley Rutschman behind the plate, and a 30-homer season with a solid number of RBI seem likely for a player who has catcher eligibility. You can do a heck of a lot worse.
