Jac Caglianone, pronounced cag-lee-OHN, is set to make his Major League debut for the Kansas City Royals after being drafted sixth overall in the 2024 MLB Draft. A standout from the University of Florida, he posted a remarkable .419/.544/.875 batting line with 35 home runs in college and has continued to excel in the minors, showcasing elite exit velocities. Despite concerns about his chase rate and defensive skills, Caglianone’s potential and the Royals’ need for offensive improvement have led to his promotion at this critical juncture in the season.
