Luis Alexander Basabe
Luis Alexander Basabe (bah-sah'vay) is a Venezuelan professional baseball outfielder in the Chicago White Sox Minor League system. Listed at 6' 0" (1.83 m), 160 lb. (73 k), he is a switch hitter and throws right handed.
The Red Sox signed Basabe as an international amateur free agent in 2012 out of Venezuela for $450,000, along with his twin brother, Luis Alejandro. Basabe gained attention from scouts due to his tool set at a young age, displaying plus speed, plus arm strength at center field, raw power, athleticism, plate discipline, and the ability to hit from both sides of the plate.
From 2013–2015, the Basabe played together after signing in the Dominican Summer and Gulf Coast leagues. Alexander took a step ahead of Alejandro in 2014, while playing for the DSL Red Sox, where he posted a very solid slash line of .284/.408/.480 with 18 runs and 26 RBI over 148 at-bats in 40 games, and also drawn nearly as many walks (30) as strikeouts (36). Luis Alexander finished the year with the GCL Red Sox, hitting a .248/.328/.324 line in 32 games, before being promoted to the Lowell Spinners the next season.
Basabe hit .243/.340/.401 with 15 runs and 13 RBI in 56 games for the Spinners in 2015, tying for third with teammate Andrew Benintendi in the short-season New York–Penn League with seven home runs despite being its third-youngest regular at age 18 in a league full of former college players. He continued to show consistent speed on the basepaths, as well, leading Lowell with 15 stolen bases. That was also good for 10th in the NYPL. Besides, he became the first player in Lowell's 20-year history to homer from both sides of the plate in one game, doing so in June and again in July, and also represented his team in the NYPL All-Star Game.
Luis Alexander opened 2016 at Low-A Class Greenville Drive, where he showed his potential and rare combination of power and speed in 105 games. Though he scuffled in the first half, Basabe emerged in the second half and hit 298/.361/.502, including a .363 average in the month of July, to bring his season line to .261/.328/.451, hitting 12 home runs and stealing 25 bases. In addition, he drove in 52 runs and scored 61 times. Furthermore, he was selected to the South Atlantic League season-ending All-Star team.
After being promoted to the Salem Red Sox for the last week of the season and postseason, Basabe seemed to be fitting right into High-A Class. In five games, he went 8-for-22 and slashed .364/.391/.545 with two doubles and one triple. Overall, he ranked fourth among the Sox minor leaguers in steals, sixth in homers, seventh in runs, eighth in triples (8), and tenth in hits (104) and doubles (24).
Basabe was rated as the Red Sox's No. 8 prospect, according to MLB.com, in March 2016. He was eligible for selection in the Rule 5 draft in December 2016.
On December 6, 2016, Basabe was traded to the Chicago White Sox, along with Yoan Moncada, Michael Kopech, and Victor Diaz, for Chris Sale.
