Royals' Top Prospect Jac Caglianone Promoted to Triple-A Amid Kansas City's Offensive Struggles
  • Ranked as the number 10 overall minor league prospect, Caglianone is now just one step away from joining a major league roster.

  • The Royals are currently struggling offensively, ranking last in Major League Baseball with only 30 home runs and 27th in runs scored.

  • Given the Royals' offensive challenges, there is speculation that Caglianone could be called up to the Major Leagues as soon as this summer.

  • Despite concerns over his significant strikeouts, Caglianone led the Texas League in hits and RBIs and ranked third in home runs prior to his promotion.

  • His upcoming debut could potentially tie the Gators for the most former players on MLB rosters at nine.

  • Jac Caglianone, a former Florida baseball player and the Kansas City Royals' top prospect, has been promoted to Triple-A Omaha after an impressive performance at Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

  • He is set to make his Triple-A debut on May 20, 2025, against the Salt Lake City Bees, the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels.

  • In addition to Caglianone's promotion, the Royals also moved Frank Mozzicato up to Double-A after he posted a remarkable 1.24 ERA in seven starts at High-A Quad Cities.

  • During his time at Double-A, Caglianone posted a .322 batting average, hit nine home runs, and recorded 43 RBIs in just 38 games.

  • Caglianone was drafted sixth overall by the Royals in the 2024 MLB Draft and has since focused on developing his offensive skills.

  • At 22 years old, he transitioned from a two-way player in college to concentrating solely on being a position player.
