Fantasy Impact:
Pasquantino enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2025 with the Royals as be batted .264 with 32 home runs and 113 runs batted in across 160 games. In parts of four seasons with Kansas City, Pasquantino has a career .266 average with 70 home runs and 262 RBI in 1,794 plate appearances. For a slugger, the left-handed hitting first baseman has excellent plate discipline, posting a career 13.5% strikeout rate - well above the major league average of 22.5%. Pasquantino should remain entrenched in the middle of the Royals' lineup for the next two seasons.
