Player Outlook
The samples are small, but Jac Caglianone's production fell off massively in his first foray into pro ball. He slashed .241/.302/.388 with two home runs and a 20.6 percent strikeout rate in 29 games at High-A and .236/.300/.449 with five home runs and a 19 percent strikeout rate in 21 games in the Arizona Fall League, which is a very hitter-friendly environment. He hit .419 with 35 homers, 58 walks and 26 strikeouts in 66 games as a junior at Florida en route to getting drafted sixth overall by Kansas City, but those numbers don't carry much weight, given the extreme run-scoring environment in college baseball last year. He's listed at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, but he has very little body fat for a first baseman that size. Caglianone has a body builder's physique and hits and throws left-handed, so he looks the part of a franchise first baseman. His lack of significant strikeout issues so far in pro ball is encouraging, and there's no doubting Caglianone's power potential. In dynasty first-year player drafts, things are very muddled among the top six or seven college hitters, but there's a case for using a top-five pick on Caglianone due his combination of relative floor and ceiling.

  • Royals' Jac Caglianone: Cut from big-league camp

    Rotowire
    The Royals reassigned Caglianone to minor-league camp Monday. Caglianone never had a real chance to make the Royals' Opening Day roster, but he nonetheless turned heads in camp, putting up a 1.871 OPS with three home runs over 13 Cactus League tilts. The 22-year-old is likely to begin the season at Double-A Northwest Arkansas and could push to debut in 2025 if he's able to make enough contact.

  • Royals' Jac Caglianone: Shows off power

    Rotowire
    Caglianone hit a 435-foot home run with a 115.4 mph exit velocity in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the White Sox, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Caglianone has at least 70-grade raw power and is in his first big-league camp. The Royals coaches were very complimentary of Caglianone, who is working on not swinging as hard as he can every time, and letting his natural raw power do the work while chasing less. If he can develop even just a 50-grade hit tool, Caglianone could annually be among the league leaders in home runs. He is likely to open the year at Double-A, but from there, he'll climb as quickly and as far as his talent takes him.

  • Royals' Jac Caglianone: Earns spring training invite

    Rotowire
    The Royals have extended Caglianone an invitation to big-league camp during spring training, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. Caglianone got in 29 games at High-A Quad Cities after being taken with the sixth overall pick of the First-Year Player Draft in 2024, but it's fairly customary for prospects of his stature to be invited to big-league camp, even if he has no chance of making the Opening Day roster. Also of note is that Caglianone -- who was a two-way player in college at Florida -- will not do any pitching in 2025, instead focusing only on hitting and playing first base.
