Owen Caissie

22-Year-Old OutfielderOF
Chicago Cubs AAA
2024 Fantasy Outlook
One of the premier power hitters in the minors, particularly from an exit velocity standpoint, Caissie has never had a strikeout rate below 28.6 percent and has a 30 percent strikeout rate for his career. He took a small step forward with a 27.1 percent strikeout rate in the second half last year, which coincides with the pre-tacked balls being removed from the Southern League. Even so, strikeouts will inevitably be a big part of Caissie's game. Fortunately, he has always walked at an 11 percent clip or higher, so he has the requisite approach to be a three-true-outcomes right fielder. Caissie has a plus arm and runs well for a 6-foot-3 slugger. A left-handed hitter, Caissie had a .755 OPS and 32 percent strikeout rate against lefties in 2023 and a .690 OPS against lefties in 2022, so it's possible he will get a platoon partner. It's also not a given that he will make enough contact against righties in the majors to handle the strong side of a platoon. Read Past Outlooks

Selected to 40-man roster
OFChicago Cubs  AAA
November 19, 2024
The Cubs selected Caissie to their 40-man roster Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Caissie spent the entire 2024 campaign with Triple-A Iowa, where he slashed .278/.375/.472 with 19 homers and 75 RBI across 549 plate appearances. The 22-year-old is regarded as one of the most promising prospects in Chicago's farm system, and a strong spring could be all he needs to break camp with the big-league squad.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade not expected
OFChicago Cubs  AAA
November 11, 2024
Caissie isn't expected to be traded by the Cubs during the offseason, reports Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old outfielder is one of the organization's top prospects, but he's blocked for immediate playing time after Cody Bellinger exercised his $27.5 million player option for 2025. Caissie received his first taste of the Triple-A level this year and totaled 19 homers and 11 steals with an .847 OPS. There's a decent chance he makes his MLB debut at some point in 2025, though he might have a difficult time finding a regular role if Chicago's outfield can stay decently healthy.
