Cavan Biggio Stats

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Cavan Biggio went 1-for-4 with a run scored, his first stolen base of the year and two strikeouts in the team's 3-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Biggio isn't an everyday player for the Blue Jays, and he won't have much offensive upside hitting at the bottom of the batting order. He's gone just 4-for-25 (.160) with a home run, RBI, stolen base and four runs scored in his first 10 games of the 2023 season. The 28-year-old can also play the outfield, but he's mostly a super-utility player for the Jays at this point, limiting his fantasy appeal to AL-only leagues for his speed.

Toronto Blue Jays utility man Cavan Biggio is expected to split his playing time in the infield and outfield this coming season. The 27-year-old spent the bulk of 2022 at second and first base, and the Blue Jays were pleased by his performance in the outfield. While he made just nine appearances in the outfield, Biggio has had success in the outfield before and he could be even more of a defensive threat in the outfield. At the plate, his bat isn't too resourceful and at the rate his career is going, Biggio won't be contributing much offense. In 2022, he slashed .202/.318/.350 with a 92 OPS+. His strikeout rate reached a career-high 28.1% mark, which is certainly a concern heading into the season. However, his defensive contributions have never been questioned and he may even secure his first Gold Glove award.

The Toronto Blue Jays and infielder Cavan Biggio avoided salary arbitration on Friday by coming to an agreement on a one-year, $2.8 million deal. The 27-year-old son of former second baseman Craig Biggio hit just .202/.318/.350 with a career-low .668 OPS, six home runs, 24 RBI, 43 runs scored and two stolen bases in 303 plate appearances and 97 games for the blue Jays in 2022. Biggio has regressed since his rookie season with Toronto in 2019 and has slashed a weak .213/.320/.353 with 13 home runs, 51 RBI and five stolen bases combined in the last two seasons. But he still will have fantasy appeal in deep mixed and AL-only leagues as a utility infielder in a strong Blue Jays lineup heading into next season.
