2025 Fantasy Outlook
Go ahead, pinch your thumb and index finger together and shake it in the air. Italian Breakfast was a big part of the surprising Kansas City offense until he broke his thumb attempting to catch a throw from Lucas Erceg, which went into Jeremy Pena running to first. Pasquantino missed the rest of the regular season but still managed to drive in 97 runs with 19 homers. Pasquantino hit 19 homers in his first 558 major league plate appearances across 2022 and 2023 and then duplicated that effort in his third season while continuing an excellent approach at the plate. Fully solving lefties is the last piece of this puzzle, because he is truly at his best when righties are on the mound. The concerns heading into 2024 with Pasquantino coming off shoulder surgery were alleviated with his results, and the winter off should allow the thumb injury to fully heal. As long as Pasquantino can remain slotted behind Bobby Witt and in front of Salvador Perez, he is in the best possible spot for this lineup and should easily drive in 100 runs and push to 30 homers. Despite the incomplete season, he finished in the top 10 for first basemen, and his acquisition cost for 2025 drafts will be high. Read Past Outlooks
Homers on Opening Day
Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a double and a three-run homer in Thursday's loss against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Pasquantino suffered a Grade 1-plus right hamstring strain just five days ago, but he was able to start at DH on Thursday and started the scoring with a three-run shot during the third inning, He may not play first base for a few games, but his injury certainly didn't limit him at the plate Opening Day.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Pasquantino's 2023 season came to an end on June 9th with a labrum injury to his non-throwing shoulder which required season-ending surgery. His final numbers were not up to the expectations fantasy managers had for him as they reached for him in drafts with him hitting .247/.324/.437 over 260 plate appearances yet the 9.6% walk rate and 11.9% strikeout rate were very impressive for a first baseman. It felt a bit James Loney-ish, but Pasquantino's career line of .272/.355/.444 over 558 plate appearances with 19 homers gives us a better look at what he could be for now. If his shoulder is fully recovered, Pasquantino profiles as a four category contributor for fantasy managers with batting average being the most likely area he could excel in a full season given the challenges of his home park and his lack of foot speed. His fantasy value needs that batting average surge as his run production numbers will lag behind many other options at first base.
