You might remember Caissie as the guy who provided some pop at the bottom of the Canadian lineup during the last World Baseball Classic, or as one of the prospects the Padres gave up in the trade for Yu Darvish. Caissie is a corner outfielder, and posted a platoon split of more than 250 points of OPS in Triple-A last year, but if he is a platoon bat, he’ll be playing the strong side of the platoon. The effort it requires for him to swing that hard, and some of the mechanical concessions he makes to do so, give him enormous hit-tool risk, and his contact rate was way down at 66%, a pretty scary mark for Rookie Ball.
