MLB Pipeline Names Jac Caglianone As Top First Base Prospect Entering 2025
MLB Pipeline named Kansas City Royals prospect Jac Caglianone as the top first base prospect in the sport. The Royals drafted Caglianone with the sixth-overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft out of Florida. With the Gators, the 21-year-old launched a school record 35 home runs during his final season and led the nation with 33 as a sophomore. Caglianone has also succeeded as a pitcher but is not expected to take the mound in 2025. He earned a brief look at High-A ball last summer. Through his first 29 games, the 21-year-old held a .241/.302/.388 line with nine doubles, two home runs, and two stolen bases. MLB Pipeline notes that Caglianone carries 40+ home run upside with elite contact. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his development, but he is not expected to have value in redraft formats this season. However, Caglianone could see his value in dynasty formats increase significantly if his power production from college begins to transfer to the minor leagues.
