He was on a Hall of Fame trajectory very early on in his career, displaying fantastic power, earning two All-Star nods, and even finishing runner-up in American League Rookie of the Year voting in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not the same player anymore. In 2024, Sanchez hit .220\/.306\/.699 with the Milwaukee Brewers, slugging only 11 home runs in 245 at-bats. Subsequently, his once-great defensive arm seems to be slipping, along with his ability to block pitches in the dirt. The 32-year-old still has some good\u00a0metrics, but his days in the majors are limited.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere,\u00a0Chadwick Tromp\u2018s\u00a0numbers haven\u2019t been good either. The veteran 30-year-old minor leaguer is slugging a .250\/.330\/.700 slash line with only five extra-base hits in 103 plate appearances. It\u2019s a far cry from his over-.900 OPS season in 2019 in the Cincinnati Reds farm system.<\/p>\n<p>The two are not expected to come anywhere close to Rutschman\u2019s offensive or defensive\u00a0numbers, despite the All-Star catcher\u2019s slump. What options does the team have?<\/p>\n<h3>1) Samuel Basallo<\/h3>\n<p><em>2025 Stats (Triple-A): 166 ABs; .271\/.378\/.968; 8 doubles; 15 HR; 34 RBI; 28 BB to 46 K<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason that Orioles farmhand\u00a0Samuel Basallo\u00a0is the number 15 overall prospect in baseball and the second-best catcher prospect. When the 20-year-old is in a groove, he\u2019s the best hitter at the Triple-A level, showcasing freakish power and run-scoring abilities. After suffering a down year in 2024, he\u2019s not only returned to 2023 form, but he might eclipse some of those stats.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-1\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=JesseStiller3&amp;dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1935350814064676964&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Flastwordonsports.com%2Fbaseball%2F2025%2F06%2F23%2Fwhats-next-for-orioles-catcher-squad%2F&amp;sessionId=10d35c6f92fbfe876e42e0f29a114a7893a90618&amp;siteScreenName=lwosbaseball&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1935350814064676964\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-26\">\n<div id=\"lwos_incontent_3_container\" class=\"sliding-ad-container\">\n<div id=\"lwos_incontent_3_sliding-ad-shim\">\n<div id=\"lwos_incontent_3\" align=\"center\" data-google-query-id=\"COu4l6GBh44DFenKFgUdNtU3CA\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/15184186,22512265771\/lwos_incontent_3_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On a surface level, Basallo needed only 48 games to hit 15 home runs, nearly matching his 19 home runs hit in 127 games last year. At the same time, his walk rate is increasing and his slugging percentage is at a career high. His contact rate appears to be transferring to raw power, but that\u2019s not really a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>In the month of\u00a0June\u00a0alone, the 20-year-old prospect hit .325\/.435\/1.157 over 54 at-bats with six home runs. In fact, he has more RBI (14) than strikeouts (13) this month. Over the last two months, Basallo slugged 12 home runs and eight doubles.<\/p>\n<p>Per his\u00a0scouting report, the 20-year-old\u2019s hitting grade did go down a bit, but his power remains there both in terms of gap and raw. Even his defense appears to be improving, putting his subpar debut at Triple-A last year behind him.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s absolutely time for Basallo to get his shot, and his increasing metrics prove that. His raw power is beginning to really form, while his contact numbers begin to rebound. The longer he\u2019s passed over for opportunities, the worse it will be for his development.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Austin Barnes<\/h3>\n<p><em>2024 Stats: 140 ABs; .264\/.331\/.638; 3 doubles; 1 HR; 11 RBI; 14 BB to 36 K<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If the team wants to keep Basallo in the minors, which at this point makes little sense, adding\u00a0Austin Barnes\u00a0might be an \u201cokay\u201d temporary fill for the catcher position. His career stats don\u2019t jump off the page, but he can give you some production without going too far backwards.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with Barnes is that he\u2019s very volatile when it comes to performance. In 2022, Barnes had an OPS over .700, before crashing below .500 in 2023. He does provide\u00a0good defense, but most of his metrics are uninspiring. Don\u2019t expect him to stay for long unless Rutschman\u2019s recovery hits a setback or Basallo slumps.<\/p>\n<h3>3) Yan Gomes<\/h3>\n<p><em>2024 Stats: 91 ABs; .154\/.179\/.421; 2 doubles; 2 HR; 7 RBI; 2 BB to 36 K<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is the least likely of the three, but if the Orioles want to remain cheap, this is the best option at the catcher position to save a little cash.\u00a0Yan Gomes\u00a0was\u00a0good\u00a0at one point, but he isn\u2019t anymore. He can still play and wants to do so, but again, it\u2019s only based on whether the team wants to remain cheap.<\/p>\n<p>Gomes\u2019 downside is that his strikeout rate ballooned in the short time he played for the Chicago Cubs in 2024. He would absolutely be a short-term investment until Rutschman gets back from the injured list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please enable cookies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":63462,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Rutschman Injured \u2014 What\u2019s Next for the Orioles&#039; Catching Corps?
