Vinnie Pasquantino Extends Power Surge, Slowly Snapping Early-Season Skid
Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino could be on the verge of putting his slow start to the 2026 season in the rearview mirror. Pasquantino went 2-for-3 at the plate in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the visiting Baltimore Orioles with his third home run of the year, a double, two runs scored, and a walk to raise his season batting average to .160 and his OPS to .546. The 28-year-old left-handed slugger's home run came in the first inning off Orioles starter Chris Bassitt. The two-hit performance on Wednesday in the series finale against the O's broke a string of four straight hitless games for the Pasquatch. His overall numbers through 25 games in 2026 don't look great at all, but Pasquantino could quickly break out in the power department after he hit a career-high 32 round-trippers in 160 games played in 2025 in his second full MLB season. Fantasy managers shouldn't be giving up on Pasquantino just yet, and his buy-low window in single-year leagues could close quickly.
