Vinnie Pasquantino

The Pasquatch stepped up to fulfill the projections of our outlook for him last season. We said if he could stay healthy and hit behind Witt Jr and Perez, he should be able to drive in 100 runs and put to 30 homers. He finished with 113 runs driven in and 32 homers and more importantly, avoided the injured list for the first time since 2022. He maximized his production against righties hitting .281/.346/.511 with 26 of his 32 home runs but had his worst season against lefties at the big league level. The challenge for Pasquantino was that 24% of his plate appearances came against fellow southpaws, so his .614 OPS against lefties limited his overall final numbers. His numbers against lefties have worsened each season he has been in the big leagues, so in order for Pasquantino to take that next step, he needs to stop that trend. If he can use 2026 to repeat his success against righties while stopping this backslide against lefties, 40 homers and 125 RBI's are within reach. He finished 2025 as the 7th-best fantasy first baseman, but top three is 2026 is within reach. Read Past Outlooks
