Jac Caglianone Hits 120.9 MPH Single
22 seconds agoKansas City Royals first base prospect Jac Caglianone has enjoyed an impressive start to his Double-A tenure. On Thursday, Caglianone smoked a 120.9 mph single to left field. This was the hardest hit ball by a Royal in the Statcast era since Eric Hosmer's 118 mph strike during the 2017 campaign. The Royals drafted Caglianone out of Florida with the sixth overall pick in last year's draft. After the draft, the Royals gave the 22-year-old a brief taste of High-A, and he posted a .241/.302/.388 slash line with nine doubles and two home runs. Through his first six games of the Double-A regular season, Caglianone has held a strong .346/.406/.615 slash line. He has gone deep twice and added one double. He is a prospect to closely monitor as he could be in the mix for his MLB debut later this summer.
