<\/p>\n
In 62 games and 232 plate appearances with the Royals, Caglianone slashed .157\/.237\/.295 with a .532 OPS. He had seven home runs, 18 RBI, a 0.35 BB\/K ratio, and a 46 wRC+. Those were paltry numbers, even for a rookie in his first exposure to big league pitching.<\/p>\n
Even though there was hope that Caglianone would be a key part of the Royals\u2019 offense, especially as a right fielder (he replaced veteran Hunter Renfroe on the active roster in June), he was pretty much a non-factor in 2025. In fact, the Royals got more production from trade deadline pickup Mike Yastrzemski, who slashed .237\/.339\/.500 with an .839 OPS and nine home runs in 156 plate appearances with the Royals.<\/p>\n
Thus, Caglianone\u2019s outlook for 2026 may be a bit hazy, especially if the Royals decide to bring back Yastrzemski for 2026. While the playing time isn\u2019t quite set yet for the talented Royals slugger, there were <\/em>some positive things that he showed in 2025, as well as some areas that he needs to work on this offseason and in spring training.<\/p>\n Thus, let\u2019s look at some of the good, the bad, and the ugly from Caglianone\u2019s rookie campaign this past season.<\/p>\n There were plenty of issues with Caglianone at the plate in 2025. That said, his ability to hit the ball hard and generate elite bat speed wasn\u2019t a concern in the slightest.<\/p>\n He produced a 12% barrel rate, which was 4.8% above league average, and a 42.4% hard-hit rate, which was 5.4% above league average. He had a bit of a lull in his hard-hit rate at the 80th batted-ball mark. However, he was able to correct that at the 95th batted-ball mark, and he finished the year strong with above-average hard-hit rates, according to his Savant rolling hard-hit rate chart.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.justbaseball.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In 62 games and 232 plate appearances with the Royals, Caglianone slashed .157\/.237\/.295 with a .532 OPS.
