2025 Player Outlook

Pasquantino doesn't carry the prototypical power of a corner infielder, but he hit 19 home runs, 30 doubles, and drove in 97 runners last season. The Kansas City lineup is intriguing for fantasy purposes, and Pasquantino will slot right in the middle of the order again. He makes a ton of contact, and his bat always finds the ball, highlighted by his 91.9 percent zone contact rate and 96th percentile whiff and strikeout rates. A middling fly ball rate suppresses his power output, but if he can trade a few grounders for fly balls, a .260-.270 season with 22+ home runs and 90+ RBI is in store for him. His lack of big-time power may cause him to slide a few notches at the first base position, making him an even better value at a top-heavy first base position.

Vinnie Pasquantino went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Orioles on Sunday.

2 days ago

Pasquantino hit one of a franchise-tying seven home runs in this game. It was Pasquantino’s sixth big fly of the season and 22nd RBI, but he’s slashing just .197/.252/.386 on the year. He’s too talented to keep hitting that poorly, but perhaps he’s not set for the breakout that many were expecting.

Vinnie Pasquantino hit his third homer Saturday off the Astros’ Framber Valdez.

The Royals have taken to dropping Pasquantino in the lineup against lefties, so he was batting seventh tonight. The homer was his sixth in 282 career plate appearances against southpaws. He has practically the same average and OBP against lefties and righties in his career, but he doesn’t typically show as much pop versus lefties.

Vinnie Pasquantino went 3-for-4 with a homer versus the Guardians on Saturday.

3 weeks ago

Pasquantino raised his average from .167 to .212 and his hard-hit rate from 30% to 35% tonight. Ideally, this will be the year he returned to hitting for average like he did as a rookie in 2022. He’s in a great ballpark for singles and doubles, and he’s fanned just 12% of the time in his career; one would think he should at least be batting .270 regularly.
