Overview
- Jac Caglianone, the Royals' top prospect and MLB Pipeline's No. 10 prospect, was promoted to Triple-A Omaha on May 18 after excelling in Double-A.
- Caglianone dominated at Double-A Northwest Arkansas, slashing .322/.394/.553 with nine home runs and 43 RBIs in 38 games this season.
- The Royals are developing Caglianone's defensive versatility, transitioning him from first base to corner outfield positions to expand his future roster fit.
- Kansas City's Major League team ranks last in MLB in home runs and 27th in runs scored, intensifying the need for power hitters like Caglianone.
- Caglianone's performance at Triple-A will determine the timing of his potential MLB debut, which could occur as early as this summer if he continues to excel.
