The final stat line won’t jump off the page for Owen Caissie in his MLB debut against the Toronto Blue Jays.

But Caissie came this close to an epic moment in his first career at-bat.

The Chicago Cubs’ top prospect received the call from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday to take the place of injured catcher Miguel Amaya. In doing so, Caissie became the first Canadian-born Cubs player to debut in Canada — and he got to do it at the ballpark he grew up going to.

“It was just surreal,” Caissie told reporters after the game. “Growing up watching the Blue Jays, I’m just super thankful the Cubs could make my debut happen in front of the Canadian people I cherish so much. I’m super excited — gotta keep rolling.”

Caissie’s MLB career almost got off to a dream start.

On the very first pitch he saw, Caissie lined a ball to left-center that looked destined for an extra-base hit.

But Blue Jays left fielder Davis Schneider adjusted after a bad jump and made a miraculous diving catch:

Had that ball touched down, Caissie would have had at least a double and possibly a triple depending on how things played out.

Caissie let out a chuckle when he was asked postgame about Schneider’s catch.

“Schneider made a great play — (he’s a) great player,” Caissie told reporters. “Just a ‘welcome to the league’ moment, I guess.”

Imagine that feeling for the rookie if he began his career with an extra-base hit off of a future Hall of Famer in Max Scherzer.

Instead, it was an 0-for-1 in the book.

Caissie had certainly already imagined the feeling of facing Scherzer when he first got the call to join the big league team in Toronto.

“It was funny, I FaceTimed my Mom and was like, ‘Guess who I’m facing tomorrow? Max Scherzer.’ She was like, ‘Oh,’” Caissie said, making a grimacing face to recount his Mom’s reaction.

Caissie finished 0-for-4 with three flyouts to left and a strikeout in the Cubs’ 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

He also came just a few inches away from another extra-base hit down the right field line in his third at-bat during the seventh inning, but his liner hooked foul.

Despite not logging his first hit yet, Caissie was confident in the at-bats he took.

“I felt good, took a couple good swings. But it was pretty cool,” he told reporters.

The 23-year-old started at DH and hit fifth for the Cubs, pushing Seiya Suzuki to the bench for Thursday’s game. How he fits into the lineup on a daily basis beyond Thursday will be very interesting.

The Cubs’ outfield/DH quartet of Suzuki, Kyle Tucker, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Ian Happ are all in the midst of slumps at the plate. Meanwhile, Caissie has been red-hot in Triple-A with a .363 average, 1.171 OPS and 10 homers over his last 27 games.
