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

Sent packing to Triple-A
The Rays optioned Basabe to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Basabe was in competition for a reserve infielder role but never got going this spring (5-for-26). He still figures to spend a good amount of time with the big club this season but for now will go to Durham where he will play with regularity.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opening Day roster unlikely
Basabe appears to be a long shot to make the Rays' Opening Day roster, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.
ANALYSIS
Basabe received his first taste of the majors last season and had a .218/.277/.320 slash line with one home run and 12 RBI in 31 games. Jose Caballero appears poised to begin the campaign as Tampa Bay's primary shortstop, with top prospect Junior Caminero seemingly next in line until Taylor Walls is recovered from hip surgery.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Basabe joined the Rangers as an international free agent in 2017 for $550,000. He's displayed advanced contact skills in organized ball since, striking out at under a 12% rate across 398 plate appearances. Basabe has also utilized his plus speed to swipe 19 bases in 87 games in rookie ball. Though he wasn't added to the Rangers' 60-player pool this past summer, Basabe participated in the Venezuelan Winter League and hit .360/.385/.488 across 91 plate appearances. In addition to his bat, Basabe has positional versatility, playing primarily at second base and shortstop as a professional. However, scouts also project that he could shift to the outfield at some point in his career. That versatility will be key for Basabe after he was traded to the Rays this offseason. He should spend his age-20 season at Low-A, where he will look to start tapping into some power to go with his impressive hit tool.
