Top Baltimore Orioles prospect Samuel Basallo agreed to an eight-year, $67 million contract extension, multiple media outlets reported Friday.
Basallo, who turned 21 on Aug. 13, made his major-league debut four days later. MLB Pipeline ranked the catcher/first baseman as the No. 8 overall prospect in baseball at the time.
Since making his debut last Sunday, he is batting .286 (4-for-14) with one double, five RBIs and one run in four games.
The Orioles signed the Dominican Republic native in January 2021 to a then-franchise record international signing bonus of $1.3 million.
Basallo appeared in 401 minor league games with a slash line of .283/.366/.498/.864 with 73 home runs and 269 runs driven in.
In 76 games this season at Triple-A Norfolk, he hit 23 home runs to go with 67 RBIs and a .270 average.
