1.97 pop time on Basallo gunning down a runner at 2nd.

 

Would like to see 1.8 but that will play!   Darn good for the 18y/o.  Going to see him play FrI & Sat.  Super excited to get eyes on him.

We'll be there too.

Seems to have an above average arm (high 80’s), is he athletic enough for the corner outfield?

Huh?

How about he plays himself off Catcher before we worry about that?

Basallo runs pretty well for a big guy.

Basilio sat out his third straight game tonight. Anyone know why?

No but he’s listed as “active” so probably just a little nicked up.   Willems missed a few games the same way.

Been quiet around here on Basallo recently.  He’s been getting his hits but not a ton of power.  HR tonight .330 avg & .940 ops

His K% has hovered right around 20% between last year and this, which seems fine to me. I'm hopeful the developmental coaches can work their magic and help the BB%. It's really nice seeing most of these prospects come up with great discipline.

At his age, I don’t think we can be much happier with his development.

35 RBI for Basallo so far.  He's producing runs for a young kid.  Do we have a future star developing?

Love the pick in the dirt and smooth transition as much as the throw!
