Witt is the pillar in which the entire franchise is built around, and he's off to another great start this season, hitting .305 with five homers, 28 RBIs and 16 stolen bases. The MVP runner-up last year in the American League, he's also a Gold Glove winner, a batting champion and a Silver Slugger. He made the All-Star Game last season as well.

Caglianone, 22, is the No. 10 ranked prospect in the game, per MLB Pipeline. He's hitting .321 between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Omaha this season with 10 home runs and 44 RBIs. The No. 6 pick in the draft just last year, he's projected to make his debut this season as the Royals chase another playoff berth.

The following comes from a portion of his MLB.com prospect profile:

Caglianone’s power was arguably the best in the 2024 Draft class. The left-handed slugger maxed out with a 121.7 mph exit velocity as a junior and didn’t stop there with a 117.3 mph max EV in the Fall League, second-best among batted balls measured by Statcast
