How much longer will it be before Jac Caglianone gets the call up to the major leagues and adds his bat to the Kansas City Royals lineup?
The Royals No. 1 pick in the 2024 MLB Draft (No. 6 overall) and the organization's top prospect as rated by MLB.com and The Athletic, Caglianone crushed his fifth home run of the season for Double-A Northern Arkansas on Saturday. The ball sailed high over the right field fence, landing on the roof of the training facility behind the ballpark.
Caglianone, who played first base and pitched at Florida, is concentrating on hitting in the Royals' system and played his fourth game of the season in right field on Saturday.
