Michael Helman

28-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
St. Louis Cardinals AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Helman has an interesting speed-power combo and versatility to play almost every position (he's played all but catcher in the minors), but he may not be more than utility player since he'll turn 29 next season. Helman hit 12 home runs with 14 steals at Triple-A last season with a .212 ISO. He's had a good command of the strike zone during his minor league career as well. He has outstanding speed which could make him an option in center field but likely doesn't have a good enough glove for regular duty in the infield. He'll be an intriguing fantasy option if he gets regular at-bats as he could be a late bloomer, but he'll likely be a long shot to win a utility role this spring. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a one-year contract with the Twins in September of 2024. Traded to the Cardinals in February of 2025.
Sent to Triple-A
2BSt. Louis Cardinals  AAA
March 16, 2025
The Cardinals optioned Helman to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
ANALYSIS
Helman went just 2-for-18 at the dish during Grapefruit League play, which likely eliminated any chance he had at breaking camp with the big club. The 28-year-old infielder reached the big leagues for the first time in 2024 as a member of the Twins, appearing in nine games for Minnesota last September.
