Kansas City Royals Invite Top Prospect Caglianone

The Kansas City Royals have invited top prospects Jac Caglianone, Blake Mitchell, and Carter Jensen to their Spring Training in Arizona, marking a significant opportunity for the team's future talent. Caglianone, the sixth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, is notable for his elite hitting skills and was previously a two-way player in college, but will focus solely on hitting in 2025. Mitchell, who was named the 2024 George Brett Hitter of the Year, and Jensen also rank highly among the Royals' minor-league talent. The invitation to Spring Training is rare for a player just drafted and reflects Caglianone's maturity and potential as noted by general manager J.J. Picollo. Caglianone's journey includes a successful stint in the Arizona Fall League, and he is expected to start the season at Double-A. He expressed excitement about learning from established players like Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez, as well as a smooth transition into the professional ranks.
