You can use 'aspell -a' e.g.
echo basball | aspell -a
traverso@iro:~$ echo basball | aspell -a
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.7-20110707)
& basball 11 0: baseball, baseballs, basally, basal, barbell, baseball's,
Babel, Basel, Basil, babel, basil
traverso@iro:~$ echo basball | aspell -a
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.7-20110707)

Assuming of course that you want to handle the suggestions.
If you want just to check if a word is OK, you can use 'aspell list', e.g.
traverso@iro:~$ echo basball | aspell list
basball
traverso@iro:~$ echo baseball | aspell list
traverso@iro:~$
