"Lasaracina has spent his only three seasons in professional baseball with Settimo of the Italian Serie A league. Last year, he compiled a .387 average, 1.086 OPS, along with 24 runs scored, 12 doubles, four home runs, 22 RBIs and eight stolen bases in 30 games played."
"For his career, the 22-year-old has accumulated a .374/.451/.579/1.030 slash line, with 68 runs scored, 36 doubles, eight triples, six home runs, 73 RBIs and 16 stolen bases in 91 career games spanning those three seasons."
"Lasaracina might not have massive home run pop, but he has sure made up for it with his solid hitting and running skills. On top of that, he possesses strong plate discipline with 44 walks and just 61 strikeouts in over 395 plate appearances for his career."
The Toronto Blue Jays acquired 22-year-old catcher Giaconino Lasaracina from Team Italy's 2026 World Baseball Classic roster. Lasaracina spent three seasons with Settimo in the Italian Serie A league, posting a .387 average with 1.086 OPS last year across 30 games. Over his career, he maintains a .374 average with strong plate discipline, recording 44 walks against 61 strikeouts in 395 plate appearances. While lacking significant power, Lasaracina demonstrates solid hitting, speed, and defensive capabilities. The signing addresses Toronto's catching depth concerns following departures of Danny Jansen and prospect Gabriel Moreno.
