"Palmegiani's calling card has always been his power, hitting 24 home runs in 2022 between Single-A and High-A, then 23 home runs in 2023, mostly spent in Double-A. However, four of those home runs came in Triple-A toward the end of the season, as he slashed .284/.427/.554 in 96 plate appearances with the Buffalo Bisons. Optimism was high for Palmegiani in 2024, and he actually led the Blue Jays' farm system in home runs with 21."
"Unfortunately, he slashed just .210/.311/.381 in 501 plate appearances with the Bisons that season. His struggles continued into 2025. Last season, he appeared in 52 games with the Bisons, slashing .159/.299/.232 with a home run in 167 plate appearances. He also spent some time in Double-A, where he slashed .200/.294/.300. There's still hope for Palmegiani. For starters, he played in Venezuela's Winter League where he had much better results, slashing .274/.370/.435 with two home runs in 73 plate appearances."
The Blue Jays farm system improved from one of the worst to middle of the pack but requires additional breakouts and prospect rebounds in 2026 to continue progressing. Damiano Palmegiani was drafted twice and signed after the second selection, showing consistent power across levels with 69 home runs since 2022. He posted strong Triple-A numbers late in one season but struggled at Buffalo in 2024 and further in 2025, with low averages and limited power. Winter League performance (.274/.370/.435) suggests potential for improvement, and the organization retains time to wait for a power rebound.
