Kansas City Royals Promote Top Prospect Jac Caglianone to MLB

The Kansas City Royals have promoted Jac Caglianone, one of baseball's top prospects, to the major leagues amid their need for offensive spark. Caglianone, 22, boasts a .322 batting average with 15 home runs and 56 RBIs across Double-A and Triple-A in 2025, and is ranked the No. 10 prospect in MLB. Originally a two-way player at the University of Florida, where he set multiple home run records and had an outstanding collegiate career, Caglianone has transitioned to a powerful slugger role, primarily playing first base but also the outfield. His promotion comes as the Royals rank near the bottom in MLB for runs and home runs scored this season, intensifying hopes he can boost their lineup. Known for prodigious power and high exit velocities, Caglianone is expected to contribute in multiple positions including corner outfield and designated hitter. His rapid rise through the minors and potential impact have also made him a favorite in Rookie of the Year betting odds and a must-add in fantasy baseball leagues.
