Jac Caglianone

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.

The Royals have extended Caglianone an invitation to big-league camp during spring training, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Caglianone got in 29 games at High-A Quad Cities after being taken with the sixth overall pick of the First-Year Player Draft in 2024, but it's fairly customary for prospects of his stature to be invited to big-league camp, even if he has no chance of making the Opening Day roster. Also of note is that Caglianone -- who was a two-way player in college at Florida -- will not do any pitching in 2025, instead focusing only on hitting and playing first base.
