Jac Caglianone

22-Year-Old First Baseman1B
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The samples are small, but Caglianone's production fell off massively in his first foray into pro ball. He slashed .241/.302/.388 with two home runs and a 20.6 percent strikeout rate in 29 games at High-A and .236/.300/.449 with five home runs and a 19 percent strikeout rate in 21 games in the Arizona Fall League, which is a very hitter-friendly environment. He hit .419 with 35 homers, 58 walks and 26 strikeouts in 66 games as a junior at Florida en route to getting drafted sixth overall by Kansas City, but those numbers don't carry much weight, given the extreme run-scoring environment in college baseball last year. He's listed at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, but he has very little body fat for a first baseman that size. Caglianone has a body builder's physique and hits and throws left-handed, so he looks the part of a franchise first baseman. His lack of significant strikeout issues so far in pro ball is encouraging, and there's no doubting Caglianone's power potential. In dynasty first-year player drafts, things are very muddled among the top six or seven college hitters, but there's a case for using a top-five pick on Caglianone due his combination of relative floor and ceiling.

Batting sixth in MLB debut
1BKansas City Royals
June 3, 2025
Caglianone is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth in his major-league debut Tuesday in St. Louis.
ANALYSIS
Caglianone is expected to see the bulk of his starts in right field for the Royals, but he'll be broken in at DH. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Caglianone earned a promotion to the majors after slashing .322/.389/.593 with 15 home runs and two stolen bases over 50 games between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Omaha.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for MLB debut Tuesday?
1BKansas City Royals
June 2, 2025
The Royals have called up Caglianone to the big leagues, and he's expected to make his MLB debut against the Cardinals on Tuesday, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
A first-round pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, Caglianone has been crushing minor-league pitching in 2025 and has gotten a much-deserved call-up to the bigs. Caglianone has a .323/.391/.600 slash line in 225 plate appearances at the Double-A and Triple-A levels this year. The slugger should give a huge boost to a dreadful Royals offense, as Kansas City is tied with the Pirates for the second-lowest run total in baseball, ahead of only the Rockies.
