The Miami Marlins third ranked prospect has put on a show during the World Baseball Classic. Owen Caissie, whom the Marlins received during the Edward Cabrera trade this offseason from the Cubs, is playing for Team Canada.
Through four games of pool play, Caissie has looked the part of a future MLB star. The primary corner outfielder is batting .500 with a homer, three doubles, five RBI, and a 1.458 OPS.
That four-game stretch is better than virtually every All-Star on Team USA’s roster, and Canada, for that matter. Caissie is proving why he should start the 2026 season on the Marlins active roster, and he’s making a good point.
Owen Cassie Is Giving the Miami Marlins Every Reason To Believe He’s Ready for the MLB
In his lone stint in the majors with the Cubs last season, Cassie struggled. He picked up just five hits and struck out 11 times over a dozen games. While the big leagues weren’t too kind to him, he’s coming off one of his best minor league seasons yet.
Over 99 games at Triple-A Iowa, Caissie hit 22 homers, drove in 55 runs, and boasted a slash line of .286/.386/.551. He’s posted back-to-back full, strong seasons at Triple-A and has proven he’s ready for the MLB.
Even former MLB starter Jake Peavy noticed on MLB Network.
