Jac Caglianone Snaps Lengthy Power Skid with Solo Shot, Time to Buy Back in?
Kansas City Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone smashed his first home run of the season on Monday night in the second inning against Kyle Bradish. He added a walk later in the game and finished 1-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI. Caglianone was one of the top hitting prospects in baseball when he got to the majors, but he hit only .157 with a .239 wOBA and seven homers in his 62 games in the majors last season. This year, his batting average is much better at .269 with a .340 wOBA. His strikeout rate has been up to almost 30%, but his hard-hit rate of 55.6% gives him good upside when he makes contact. The Royals could definitely use a boost from his bat, and with a current six-game hitting streak, there are signs that the 23-year-old prospect is starting to turn things around. If you can snag him off the waiver wire, he could be a move that pays off if he can build on his current momentum and get the breakout many expected when he came up through the Royals' farm system.
