US EditionKansas City Royals to Promote Top Prospect Jac Caglianone
- The Kansas City Royals announced the promotion of top prospect Jac Caglianone to the major leagues, with his debut expected Tuesday in St. Louis.
- The promotion follows Caglianone's strong minor league performance amid the Royals’ ongoing offensive struggles and recent series losses.
- Before his promotion, 22-year-old Caglianone played 12 games at the Triple-A level, where he achieved a.319 batting average, hit six home runs and 13 doubles, and recorded an OPS of 1.093.
- He will be the first Royals player to reach the majors within a year of being drafted since Bo Jackson in 1986, and said he needed to call his father with the news.
- This move could help revitalize a Royals offense that has the league’s fewest home runs and third-fewest runs scored, potentially impacting their postseason push.
