Thomas Saggese has been one of the top power-hitting prospects in the St. Louis Cardinals' farm system, and now the utility infielder is set to make his MLB debut.
Through 125 games with Triple-A Memphis this season, Saggese has hit .253 with 20 home runs, 67 RBI, nine stolen bases and a .752 OPS. He was a .321 hitter with 26 home runs, 116 RBI, 12 stolen bases and a .950 OPS in 131 games at the Double-A level between 2022 and 2023.
King is 4-3 with a 2.75 ERA, 1.250 WHIP and 1.4 WAR since arriving in St. Louis, while Roby is ranked as the Cardinals' No. 6 prospect. Saggese has plenty of experience at second and third base, but he has spent the majority of 2024 as a shortstop. With Masyn Winn holding down the fort at short and Nolan Arenado still manning the hot corner, the 22-year-old could wind up seeing the most playing time at second.
