Royals Call Up Top Prospect Jac Caglianone for MLB Debut in St. Louis

The Kansas City Royals are set to debut their top prospect, Jac Caglianone, in the Major Leagues during a series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Caglianone, the sixth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, has rapidly ascended through the minor leagues with impressive power hitting, including 15 home runs and a .322 batting average this season. Initially playing first base, he has also been trained in right field to increase his versatility, preparing for his promotion. His call-up aims to bolster the Royals' struggling offense, which has averaged just 3.3 runs per game this year. The emotional moment of his promotion was captured in a video where his AAA manager, Mike Jirschele, informed him of the move. Meanwhile, other MLB rookies continue to show fluctuating performance levels, highlighting the challenge of maintaining consistency at the major league level.
