Reports: Royals bringing up No. 1 prospect Jac Caglianone

By MLB Premium News Jun 2, 2025 | 7:38 AM

The No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 draft by the Kansas City Royals, highly touted prospect Jac Caglianone is on the verge of getting the call to the majors, according to multiple reports on Sunday night.
Ranked as the No. 10 prospect by MLB Pipeline, the 22-year-old Caglianone has been tearing it up in his first professional season.
At two levels, the 6-foot-5, 250-pound slugger is slashing .322/.389/.593 with 15 home runs and 56 RBIs in 49 games, including .319/.370/.723 with six home runs and 13 RBIs in 12 games at Triple-A Omaha.
Caglianone has mainly played the outfield while at Triple-A and is expected to remain there when he joins the Royals for a road series against the St. Louis Cardinals that opens Tuesday. He was a two-way player at the University of Florida but set pitching aside to play first base when he was drafted last July.
The Royals, who have scored the second-fewest runs (194) in MLB, are hopeful Caglianone’s powerful bat in the middle of the lineup can boost a slumping offense, especially among the outfielders. Kansas City’s outfield group ranks last in home runs (seven), RBIs (46) and slugging percentage (.330).
