Congratulations are in order for Kansas City Royals top prospect Jac Caglianone, who hit his first home run in the Arizona Fall League on Tuesday.October 23, 2024
The home run had to be a relief for the team's top draft pick from 2024, who has struggled professionally to this point. Our friends atrecently wrote about his issues, with Keith Law of 'The Athletic' saying that he looks "gassed" at this juncture in the season. He did play a full college season, went to the College World Series and has kept playing since getting drafted.
Caglianone is the No. 17-ranked prospect in all of baseball right now and is the top prospect in the Royals system as well.A 6-foot-5 physical beast, Caglianone has top of the class left-handed raw power, and he gets to it, as evidenced by his 68 home runs over his final two seasons on campus. He’s very aggressive in the box and there was concern about his tendency to chase pitches out of the zone , but he doesn’t strike out a lot and makes a lot of hard contact.
The Royals are coming off a season in which they advanced to the American League Division Series, losing to the New York Yankees in four games. They went 86-76 for the regular season.The 2024 playoffs are finally coming to a head, with the AL and NL pennant-winners now set in stone. Here is the latest on the schedule, with dates, game times, TV information and pitching matchups.
