2023 Fantasy Outlook
Despite posting a .391/.440/.739 line in the spring, Pasquantino opened the season with Triple-A Omaha, but a .932 OPS with 40 walks to just 39 strikeouts in 73 games earned him a late June promotion. Pasquantino began just 4-for-30 with six walks, but the Royals patience was rewarded as Pasquantino hit .316/.392/.478 the rest of the way, with a two-week interruption for shoulder discomfort. Pasquantino's discipline translated to the majors as he walked 35 times with just 34 strikeouts in 298 plate appearances. He's a fly ball hitter with plus power that should play in cavernous Kauffman Stadium, but he hits ample line drives to support a BABIP around .300. His best position is designated hitter which isn't ideal for a fledgling 25-year-old, but the Royals need his bat in the lineup, so he'll play every day. Most young players struggle, but Pasquantino's approach should lead to more peaks than valleys. Read Past Outlooks
Three hits, two RBI in win
Pasquantino went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 7-0 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Pasquantino's RBI double in the third inning was ultimately all the Royals needed. The first baseman has hit safely in four of his last five games, going 8-for-23 (.348) in that span. While it's a small sample, it's also an encouraging return to form after he struggled at the plate for a couple of weeks in May. For the season, Pasquantino is slashing .262/.341/.466 with nine home runs, 26 RBI, 22 runs scored and 15 doubles through 54 contests.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Pasquantino had one of the more flawless statistical seasons in the minors, hitting .300/.394/.563 with 24 home runs and a 64:64 K:BB in 116 games across High-A and Double-A. Nick Pratto is ahead of him on the organizational depth chart, as he spent half the year at Triple-A and was added to the 40-man roster, but Pasquantino is the better long-term bet to hit enough to profile as an everyday first baseman. He makes good swing decisions and has a prototypical swing, hitting the ball on the ground less than 35% of the time. While he seems to have a bright future and is already 24 years old, the Royals will probably use this season to evaluate Pratto and MJ Melendez at the big-league level before turning to Pasquantino, but there's a chance he forces the issue.
