The Official Jac Caglianone Thread

Skipscards · 03-09-2025, 10:38 PM

As a Royals fan, I figured may as well start this thread. He really didn’t set A on fire last year, but he does have some power and if he can improve his K rate, he could be just the hitter we need. Heck, most of our OF last year hit like pitchers, so hopefully he can make the defensive adjustment. If he keeps hitting like he has been this Spring, we could see him this season. I did hit an auto of his in Bowman something or other, so that’s one in a row. I’ll add a pic of it here when I get it scanned.

Though it appears we won’t let him pitch, so he probably won’t be Jactani.

Was hoping to see Jac come through Wichita to play my Wind Surge but assuming he starts out at Northwest Arkansas they don't come until August. I doubt he will be in AA at that time. Bummer. He was fun to watch today on the broadcast

Yeah, I’m not sure what to think. Very small sample size, but he’s handling himself very well. Did pick up any of his cards yet?

Cags did not play nor pitch today.

Hope he pans out. I feel like his card values are/were grossly inflated because people assume he'll be both hitting and pitching, no?

His cards were inflated because he was a big name coming out of college. Though the Jactani nickname certainly is part of the legend. The Royals never had any intention of pitching him though he has said he still practices it and is keeping his arm in shape.

But his power is why he was picked so high and why his prices have stayed strong because, you know…

MyckKabongo · 03-13-2025, 12:52 PM

No one expects him to pitch. It's the 80 grade power mostly which makes more projectable as a hobby stud than everyone else on the prospect lists at the moment. He also was one of the most famous college baseball player in years so his name recognition is very strong.

He has a 1.874 OPS with as many strikeouts as home runs this Spring. Has multiple of the hardest hit balls in the league per Statcast.

It’s only Spring Training so, meaningless. But, Jac is hitting .529 this Spring.

I think spring seasons stats can have some meaningfulness to it

Maybe but I tend to ignore the Spring. Too many matchup issues, guys getting timing down, getting into shape, and trying new pitches.

Skipscards · 03-17-2025, 01:45 PM

Meanwhile, Jac has been sent to the minor league camp today.
