"It's called the home run hustle. Owen Caissie drives one to deep center for Team Canada! 💪 #WorldBaseballClassic pic.twitter.com/aRwFhosAjx - World Baseball Classic (@WBCBaseball) March 12, 2023 It was a disappointing rookie season for Caissie in 2025, largely because he appeared in only twelve games due to injury and limited playing time. He flashed the hard contact he was known for in Triple-A, but didn't have enough runway to showcase the full potential the team believes he possesses."
