Jac Caglianone

Surface stats are underwhelming (.253/.333/.429, 3 HR in 28 games) because manager Matt Quatraro sits him against lefties three times a week. But his Statcast profile is elite — all seven key contact metrics in the top 20% of the league. When he gets full-time at-bats, this looks like a 25-30 HR pace. Sell him to anyone in your league still reading the batting average; buy him if you can.

Caglianone's overall line (.253/.333/.429) doesn't tell the story — nine homers and a .773 SLG across a 20-game June run showed off the elite raw power scouts have long projected. The Statcast metrics back him up: xwOBA .359, 90th-plus percentile exit velocity, top barrel rate on the Royals. Only relevant if he slipped off your wire in shallow formats — in 8-10 team leagues, the second-half ceiling here is real.

On an historic June tear with nine home runs for the month and a 1.511 OPS over his last nine games. He's 86% rostered on CBS but may still be available in Yahoo or ESPN leagues — check your wire before Monday games. If he's there in any format, this is an unconditional add.

Nine home runs in 20 June games — every one over 400 feet — backed by Statcast metrics that rank among the best in baseball. Ownership jumped 16% last weekend and is still climbing. Still available in most 10-12 team leagues, but the window is closing fast.

Per Rotowire, Caglianone slugged his first MLB homer Monday. The former two-way Florida standout has elite raw power — he hit 33 HR in college across two seasons. The Royals are giving him everyday DH reps and the power is starting to translate. At 18% owned, he's still available in most leagues. If the HR pace picks up, his ownership will spike fast. Speculative add in 12+ team leagues.
