Orioles C/1B prospect Samuel Basallo went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
The 20-year-old now has 13 home runs, 26 RBI, and a .952 OPS on the season. Basallo has been heating up of late, and with Ryan Mountcastle out for the next two months, there could be a window of opportunity for their young prospect. He’s still likely behind Heston Kjerstad and Coby Mayo in the pecking order for designated hitter at-bats, but neither of those guys has really run away with the opportunity, so it remains a situation to monitor.
