Jac Caglianone is hotter than he’s ever been in his big league career. I actually thought it was hotter than any hitter the Royals have had since Witt in 2024 went on that insane run, but there are two who were hotter last year, surprisingly. He had four hits on Wednesday and then two more yesterday. Even with a shoulder issue baked in that caused him to miss a game, Caglianone is now hitting .452/.531/.714 since the start of the last road trip. That 12-game stretch (that does include one at bat before he left in Minneapolis) with a 1.245 OPS is literally one point higher than Witt’s best stretch this season.
Some others who have had a 1.200 OPS or higher in a 12-game stretch with at least 40 plate appearances recently include Mike Yastrzemski last year, and both Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez had stretches with a higher OPS than Caglianone’s right now at some point last year. Actually, one of Yastrzemski’s was a bit higher, too. I know that sounds like I might be downplaying Caglianone, but I’m expressing legitimate surprise that the Royals have had 12-game stretches this hot this recently. Either way, it’s an incredible development that he just continues to hit.
