Jac Caglianone Continues Power Barrage, Homers Twice on Tuesday
Kansas City Royals first baseman/outfielder Jac Caglianone is among the hottest hitters in baseball of late, and that continued in Tuesday's 12-5 beatdown of the first-place Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. Caglianone went 3-for-5 at the plate with two more home runs, three RBI, three runs scored, and a strikeout to boost his season average to .277 and his OPS to .847. The 23-year-old left-handed slugger has now hit multiple home runs in two of his last three games and has cleared the fences six times in his last five games. The former sixth overall pick in the 2024 MLB draft out of the University of Florida has turned a corner in June, hitting .373 (28-for-75) with nine home runs, three doubles, 19 RBI, 20 runs scored, and two stolen bases in his 20 games and 86 plate appearances. Caglianone's hot streak during the month has made him a must-add post-hype prospect off the waiver wire in all fantasy baseball leagues. He's currently rostered in 79% of Yahoo leagues and will continue to be added after another big night on Tuesday. Overall, in 253 at-bats in his first full year in the majors, Cags has 14 home runs, 30 RBI, 38 runs scored, and three stolen bases for KC.
