Marco Luciano News
San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Marco Luciano tallied three RBI en route to Tuesday's victory, increasing his season total to 13. After getting a small taste of the major leagues last season, the Giants sent down the 22-year-old to continue his development in Triple-A. Luciano has performed well early in the season, posting a .303/.419/.382 slash line with six extra-base hits and three stolen bases. Luciano is expected to return to the major leagues later in the summer and is worth keeping an eye on in deeper re-draft formats.
San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Marco Luciano has been off to a hot start for Triple-A Sacramento. The 22-year-old was with the team this spring in the Cactus League, but struggled and was demoted to Triple-A to get more seasoning. He has always had a strong glove, but his hitting has needed to catch up and that hasn't been a problem early on in the season. In his first eight games, Luciano has hit a sparkling .375 with three doubles, four RBI, nine walks and 11 strikeouts. The near 1:1 walk to strikeout ratio is important as Luciano has been prone to doubling his strikeout to walk rate historically. Despite his aggressiveness, Luciano has very good bat speed and can hit for power with double-digit homers in all four of his professional seasons. If Luciano can become a more patient hitter, he has all the tools to help fantasy managers. For now, he is best served in dynasty leagues.
The San Francisco Giants optioned shortstop Marco Luciano and catcher Blake Sabol to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday. Many folks expected Luciano to open the year as San Fran's starting shortstop, but instead he'll open the year in the minors after missing some time with an injury in spring training. Veteran Nick Ahmed will open the 2024 season as the Giants' starter at the 6. The 22-year-old Luciano should still be considered the team's best long-term option at shortstop, but it remains to be seen when they'll deem him ready to return to the majors. Sabol, 26, is currently the Giants' No. 3 catcher behind Patrick Bailey and Joey Bart, so he'll bide his time on the farm until the team needs another catcher at the big-league level.
