Vinnie Pasquantino 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Big Time RBI Production Can Be Found After Pick No. 100
Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino was on the way to a 100-plus RBI season last year before a broken thumb ended his season prematurely, the second consecutive campaign cut short after a torn labrum torpedoed 2023 just 61 games in. The left-handed hitter still finished 20th in the majors with 97 RBI in 131 games, a 114 RBI full-season pace that would have put him at fourth in all of baseball. The problem for fantasy is that for someone who had a high 87.5% Contact% and low 12.8% K%, you'd hope for a higher BA or OBP, but he's recorded just a .257 BA and .318 OBP over the last two seasons combined. A low BA can be offset with big home run totals, but with a career barrel rate of 7.6%, don't expect many more than the 19 HR he hit last season even if the 27-year-old manages to play a full season. Hitting behind Bobby Witt Jr. and ahead of a still-productive Salvador Perez is a good place to be, but there isn't much upside here, even at his low NFBC ADP of 114, which is right where RotoBaller ranks him.
