Jason Haug joined the Santa Clara Cardinals in Summer 2025 and immediately established himself as one of the most impactful left-handed bats in the lineup. A Milpitas, CA native, Haug brings a physical presence at first base, a disciplined approach at the plate, and the ability to change a game with one swing.

Known for his patient eye, power to the gaps, and run-producing instincts, Haug has quickly become a middle-of-the-order force while also providing defensive stability at first base. His left-handed profile gives the Cardinals valuable balance and matchup flexibility against right-handed pitching.
