2024 Fantasy Outlook
Basabe amassed nearly 1,700 plate appearances in the minor leagues before his 23rd birthday while also earning his first promotion to the majors. Basabe hit .311/.369/.432 in the Tampa Bay farm system, and injuries, as well as a .296/.351/.426 line in Durham this year, earned him that promotion. Like Jonathan Aranda, that minor league success did not translate into major league success, as Basabe looked completely overmatched at the plate against major league pitching aside a grand slam off Daniel Bard in a blowout game in late August. The switch hitter is still growing into his frame and profiles as a bottom of the order utility player until such time as his skills or opportunities improve. The Rays dealt away one of the roadblocks in his way in Vidal Brujan, so it would appear Basabe would at least inherit the role Brujan had with the club in 2023. He can safely be avoided in mixed leagues for the time being given his rather limited ceiling. Read Past Outlooks
