Jac Caglianone Given Huge Comparison to Ohtani, Judge

"He is a guy who has the kind of power that Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani have, and there are very few guys in baseball who can say that," said Passan.

It seems outlandish to compare a 22-year-old prospect to the likes of Ohtani and Judge, but the stats have spoken for themselves as of now. His power is undeniable and he can make contact with the ball regardless of where the pitch gets thrown.

After switching from first base to an outfield role (left and right field) in the minor leagues, that is a significant adjustment that is probably delaying his call up to the majors until now.

Where they will be playing Caglianone has yet to be determined, but outfield, first base, and even designated hitter are all possibilities for him, and his added height at 6-foot-5 should help him adjust to any of them.

Royals fans finally get a glimpse of their bright future with another incredible prospect. Adding him to a lineup with Bobby Witt Jr. certainly creates a lot of excitement for a team looking to push past their 31-29 record.

On an off day on June 2, the Royals and Caglianone have the time to get acclimated more before they travel to St. Louis to face the Cardinals. Should he get in the lineup immediately, his first home game will be June 10 where they will be playing the New York Yankees.
