Jared Triolo

Triolo surprisingly claimed the starting second base job out of spring training in 2024, beating out Liover Peguero and Ji Hwan Bae for the role. He was ultimately displaced by Nick Gonzales but stuck in the majors for the entirety of the season and logged 446 plate appearances while filling in for Ke'Bryan Hayes at third base. Triolo's value in the majors comes almost entirely from his glove, which is evident from his 86 wRC+ and .099 ISO across 655 career plate appearances. In addition to the lack of power, Triolo doesn't check any other box for fantasy production, as his career 27.6 percent strikeout rate has held him to just a .242 batting average. Triolo has had some success on the basepaths with 14 stolen bases across 16 attempts. However, his inability to get on base consistently will prevent him from racking up enough bags to overcome the rest of the deficiencies in his profile in more standard mixed leagues. On the other hand, Triolo should find a decent amount of playing time due to his defensive versatility and ability, so he could be a reasonable depth option in NL-only or extremely deep mixed leagues.
