2025 Fantasy Outlook
One reason the Cubs were aggressively shopping Cody Bellinger this winter is that they believe Caissie is ready to see time in right field at the big-league level. Caissie's batting average figures to be his weakest fantasy stat, but he has the raw power to hit 30 homers in a season and the speed to steal 15 bases. He also has the patience to log solid on-base percentages if it all comes together. His exit velocity data from the past two years is more impressive than the 41 home runs he hit in 247 games. Caissie made contact at a 66.9 percent clip and struck out at a 28.4 percent clip at Triple-A, and the whiffs are part of the package. A left-handed hitter, Caissie could sit against southpaws initially in an effort to get him off on the right foot. Now that he's on the 40-man roster, Caissie could have a chance of winning a roster spot out of spring training, especially if the Cubs are able to move Bellinger. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Cubs in March of 2025.
Likely headed back to minors
The Cubs are expected to option Caissie to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
After being called up from Triple-A on Aug. 14, Caissie struggled to carve out a regular role in the Chicago outfield and slashed just .208/.240/.375 through his first 25 big-league plate appearances. He'll get the chance to resume playing on an everyday basis at Iowa and will cede his spot on the active roster to Kevin Alcantara, who si expected to be called up from Triple-A on Monday in a corresponding transaction.

Stat Review
How does Owen Caissie compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade piece for Cubs?
Jim Callis of MLB.com believes Caissie is a player that teams will ask for from the Cubs before Thursday's trade deadline.
Analysis
Caissie is enjoying another strong season with Triple-A Iowa and is slashing .276/.374/.556 with three steals, 20 home runs and 46 RBI across 364 plate appearances. The Cubs already have a star-studded outfield that includes Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kyle Tucker, Seiya Suzuki and Ian Happ, which would give the team more leeway to send out Caissie to acquire a position of need like starting or relief pitching.
