Thomas Saggese
#25 Active2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile
Thomas Saggese finally kicked the door down in 2025, proving his bat was ready for the big stage. After starting the year with a prolific stint at Triple-A Memphis where he led the International League in total bases through May, Saggese was recalled for good in June and never looked back. He finished his rookie campaign slashing .262/.318/.425 with 14 home runs and 58 RBI in 102 games. While his aggressive approach led to a 26.5% strikeout rate, his ability to drive the ball to all fields was evident in his 41.2% hard-hit rate. He was particularly lethal against left-handed pitching, posting a robust .885 OPS that made him a fixture in the middle of the St. Louis order.
Entering 2026, Saggese is a focal point of the Cardinals' youth movement following the offseason departures of veteran stalwarts. While he split time between second and third base in 2025, he enters spring training as the primary candidate to man the hot corner full-time, especially with top prospect JJ Wetherholt expected to anchor second base. Fantasy managers should view Saggese as a high-upside corner infield option with an ADP around 245. His multi-position eligibility and 20-homer potential provide significant value in deeper formats. If he can refine his plate discipline and cut down on the chase rate, he has the raw power to emerge as a consistent middle-of-the-order threat for a rebuilding St. Louis squad.

AVG, OBP, SLG, ERA and WHIP are season-to-date through each game, not that game alone — so the column reads as a trend and its last value is the season figure. They stay season-to-date when the log is filtered by opponent; the figure for the filtered games is the one in the Total row. The second game of a doubleheader is marked (2).
