Cubs' No. 1 Prospect Explains 'Welcome to the League' Moment Against Blue Jays

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Not many bounces are going the Chicago Cubs' way right now, and apparently, that luck even extends to those who just joined the team. The Cubs called up their top prospect, outfielder Owen Caissie, to make his major league debut on Thursday. The 23-year-old Canadian had a homecoming of sorts, joining Chicago for its final game in a series at the Rogers Centre against the Toronto Blue Jays. With the Cubs seeking a win to salvage a series split, Caissie came up in his first plate appearance against future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer, and he did all he could do. TORONTO, ON - AUGUST 14: Owen Caissie #19 of the Chicago Cubs swings during his major league debut game against the Toronto Blue Jays during the seventh inning in their MLB game at the Rogers... TORONTO, ON - AUGUST 14: Owen Caissie #19 of the Chicago Cubs swings during his major league debut game against the Toronto Blue Jays during the seventh inning in their MLB game at the Rogers Centre on August 14, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (Photo by)Launching a line drive into the left-center field gap, Caissie thought for all the world that he had extra bases. But out of nowhere, Blue Jays left fielder Davis Schneider, a utility player not typically known for his defensive prowess, came hurtling in to make a sensational diving grab as the ball flew over his right shoulder. Caissie couldn't help but chuckle, because he'd hit the ball right on the screws. "Just hit the ball and run," Caissie said, per Keegan Matheson of "Schneider made a great play, so it was a 'welcome to the league' moment." Unfortunately for Caissie, he went on to finish the game 0-for-4, and the Cubs dropped a 2-1 decision to fall to 68-52. They're now eight games back of the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central. Caissie is from Burlington, Ontario, which is only about an hour drive from Rogers Centre. He was playing in front of a large group of friends and family, so large he couldn't approximate just how many there were. Now, Caissie will get his first taste of Wrigley Field, as the Cubs are set to host the Pittsburgh Pirates for a three-game series beginning Friday.
