Overview

  • Jac Caglianone, selected sixth overall in the 2024 MLB Draft, has been promoted from Double-A to Triple-A Omaha by the Kansas City Royals.
  • In 38 Double-A games this season, Caglianone posted a .322/.394/.553 slash line with nine home runs and 43 RBIs, showcasing his offensive dominance.
  • The Royals have been developing Caglianone’s positional versatility, giving him time at both first base and the outfield to better fit future roster needs.
  • Kansas City’s struggling offense, ranking near the bottom in runs and home runs, underscores the potential impact of Caglianone’s power profile in the majors.
  • Left-hander Frank Mozzicato, another top Royals prospect, was also promoted to Double-A after excelling with a 1.24 ERA in High-A.
