Baseball Prospectus on the Royals draft.
Kansas City Royals Draft overview: The Royals swung hard here—nearly as hard as their first-rounder Jac Caglianone does. Somewhat surprisingly announced as a two-way player, the high-risk, high-reward Cags was followed by eight straight pitcher selections, led by 17-year-old cold weather high school lefty David Shields. Keep an eye on whether the Royals can sign 14th-rounder Kyle DeGroat, a prep arm filled with tons of upside and projectable traits. Top draftee’s system fit: Caglianone immediately surpassed Blake Mitchell as the system’s top prospect. |

No Walter Pennington on the ML roster is absolute horse shit.

Caglianone should be a top 50 prospect correct?

He was ranked No. 26 in Baseball Prospectus' Midseason 50.
26. Jac Caglianone, TWP, Kansas City Royals Why He’ll Succeed: As a hitter, he combines extreme top-end raw power—he hit a 122 mph batted ball this spring, which even with BBCOR bats is incredible—with plus-plus in-zone contact rates. Most players with that type of elite damage/contact ability become stars (there’s a big caveat coming down below). As a pitcher, he throws a mid-90s fastball and a plus change from the left side. He’s a viable prospect on both sides of the ball, even if far better with the bat in his hands. Why He Might Fail: As a hitter, he recklessly chases at almost everything thrown vaguely in the direction of the strike zone; he’s either going to have to adjust in some form or his hit tool will collapse in pro ball. As a pitcher, his stuff was inconsistent and down in 2024, and we’re actually a little surprised he was announced as a two-way player instead of an outfielder or first baseman only. Also, he’s a pitcher (sometimes). |

He's going to scorch the majors. Why? Yes he strikes out and chases but he ACTUALLY can make contact with a baseball well. Do you know who has a even higher chase rate? Salvador Perez. But he can hit a baseball because he has god given talent. Thats Cags but with a little more power and a tad more patience.

Salvador Perez now has the most walks he's ever had in a season and he's only at 350 ABs.

So this was mentioned in last night’s GDT. And again, I hope Jordan is okay. Really gotta wonder what his situation was/is. I know he wasn’t the most popular guy around here, but I was very interested in seeing what he could do as a full time reliever. He’d had some success in that role before, aside from his time in CO where rarely a pitcher ever succeeds. Do the Royals have to fulfill his contract? Very weird situation. |

Bobby had his 2nd night in a row of at least 3 hits…. Reminded me of this remarkable stretch from another familiar name…
