[–>SEATTLE<\/span><\/p>\n

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone has stepped up in pivotal moments this season. And his teammates have noticed.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

On Saturday, Caglianone drove in the game-tying run<\/a> against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. The Royals were down to their final two outs in the top of the ninth inning, with tough closer Andres Munoz pumping high-velocity fastballs on the mound.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Munoz allowed a leadoff single to Salvador Perez. Then he quickly struck out Carter Jensen in the Royals\u2019 next at-bat. This brought Caglianone to the plate with the game on the line.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Caglianone had the arduous task of scoring the baserunner. In this case, the Royals had pinch-runner Lane Thomas on second. Any hit would score Thomas and even the game at two runs apiece.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Caglianone did one better. He hit an RBI single to center field and hustled to third after Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez fumbled the ball.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

As Caglianone reached safely, he yelled out in jubilation. It was the second night the 23-year-old had caome through in the clutch \u2014 on Friday, he belted a solo homer over the right-field wall.<\/a><\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

\u201cI hadn\u2019t faced Munoz before, but you know, watching videos and everything, I knew he had an electric heater,\u201d Caglianone said. \u201cSo I told myself, just be on time for the heater. And if it\u2019s there, just go.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd luckily, first pitch, saw it pretty good and put a good swing on it. Props to Lane for busting it and getting around the bases and scoring that run. That was huge. So it was just a really cool moment to do that on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Caglianone has played well in recent games. He finished 2-for-4 Saturday and has now hit safely in 13 of his last 17 games. It was also his fifth multi-hit outing and second game-tying RBI in the ninth inning or later.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

This season, Caglianone is hitting .263 with 25 hits, three homers, six RBIs and a .772 OPS (on-base plus slugging) in 29 games.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

The offensive production is starting to bubble. The Royals are hoping Caglianone can hit his stride after a 2025 that fell short of expectations.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been showing good at-bats the last couple of weeks,\u201d Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia said. \u201cHe\u2019s young, but he\u2019s growing up like a pro baseball player. We know he has good talent and we trust him. He\u2019s done a great job staying aggressive with the fastball.\u201d<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Royals manager Matt Quatraro also sees Caglianone\u2019s promise. He was intrigued by Caglianone\u2019s approach throughout Saturday\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just the swings, it\u2019s what he doesn\u2019t swing at, you know,\u201d Quatraro said. \u201cAnd when he lays off some of those tough pitches down in the (strike) zone, or if he takes a couple of the fastballs up, he\u2019s managing the zone better. And that\u2019s going to be a big key for him as he continues to develop.\u201d<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Caglianone remains cautious despite his success. He\u2019s taking a day-by-day approach and staying even-keeled as he continues to get accustomed to big-league baseball. It\u2019s sage advice he learned from such veteran teammates as Perez and Vinnie Pasquantino.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing their lead on that has been super helpful for the mental,\u201d Caglianone said. \u201cAnd honestly, it\u2019s kind of freed the mind up for the day to day.\u201d<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Each day presents a new challenge. Yet Caglianone is making a strong impression that he can handle the ebbs and flows with confidence.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

His numbers are trending upward<\/a> and his confidence is beginning to stabilize at a high level.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

\u201cJac\u2019s a great player and he is putting together professional at-bats,\u201d Royals second baseman Michael Massey said. \u201cWe\u2019re lucky he\u2019s on our side. I think he is going to do really good things. And like I said, we\u2019re seeing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
