ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel<\/a> tags him as a potential breakout candidate for Kansas City.\u00a0<\/p>\n“This might be the easiest pick of this entire exercise. Cags has massive, franchise-shaking upside and was pretty solid last season, but tough ball-in-play luck tanked his numbers. He looks good this spring, and I think he’ll have a huge year.”<\/p>\n
McDaniel mentions his tough BABIP, which suggests he got a bit unlucky last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On top of that, the club recently moved the walls in at Kauffman Stadium, which Caglianone should benefit greatly from.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He will come into the new season a little more battle-tested than some others. He has been with Team Italy so far during the World Baseball Classic, recently helping them upset a loaded USA team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Caglianone has all the makings to be a difference-maker in the lineup. Don’t be surprised if he makes it his mission to come and show the five teams who passed on him during the 2024 MLB Draft that they made a huge mistake.<\/p>\n
