THE Kansas City Royals promote the best hopes Jac Caglianone to the majors, According to ESPN. Caglianone, choice n ° 6 of the draft last summer, could make its debut in the big league on Tuesday, when the Royals welcome the Cardinals of Saint-Louis.
Caglianone, 22, had struck. 322 / .389 / .593 with 15 home circuits in double and triple has during his first 50 games this season. A recent promotion of Triple-A coincided with a hot sequence which saw it beat .319 / .370 / .723 with six circuits in 12 games. CBS Sports recently broken down the Caglianone season in more detail. Here is what we wrote at the time::
Caglianone was the most interesting player in last year’s draft class – not only because of his double -meaning talent (although he has not yet presented in a professional manner and I am not sure that he will never do it), but because of a set of polarizing offensive skills. I knew teams that had it outside the Top 10 on their preference lists due to the doubts engendered by its Swing-Happy approach. Caglianone boosters highlighted his elite strength and feeling for a barrel as reasons to believe. The latter finally won, when he went n ° 6 in the draft.
So far, its defenders have looked good. He dominated five times in his first six Triple-A games, passing his seasonal line to .326 / .389 / .607 in 44 games. Does he have his Swing-Happy approach (will he have one of the five highest prosecution rates among qualifications) work in the majors? I can’t wait to discover it, and on the basis of Kansas City’s outdoor game, I suspect that he will receive the call as soon as possible.
Caglianone is to see most of its action in the outside field. The Royals entered Sunday with no active external field on their list which had produced an offense in the league average. Take a look at how the Kansas City exercise championships with at least 10 departures this season had come into play on Sunday:

In addition, however, the Royals need offensive help wherever they can get it. Kansas City had given 10 strikers at least 100 plaques appearances before Sunday, and only two of these strikers (Bobby Witt Jr. and Maikel Garcia) had an ops + 100 or better. In a news without surprise, the team is in fourth place in the Central Al with a record of 31-29, eight games behind the Detroit Tigers (they are however only a match of the Joker race).
The Royals will take place on Monday, which means that Caglianone should be able to join them in time for Tuesday’s competition.
