What can the Royals Expect from Jac Caglianone?

The Royals called up their top prospect in Jac Caglianone. After only 50 games in the high minors can he hit the ground running in MLB?

Fans finally got what they’ve been clamoring for when the Kansas City Royals called up top prospect Jac Caglianone Monday. The big, 22-year-old lefty with thunder in his bat has posted an impressive slash line in a very limited number of plate appearances this season—.322/.389/.593 in 229 plate appearances across AA and AAA this season.

But the big question is not what has he done?. It’s what will he do?. I’m going to do my best to find some player comparisons who might give us a sense of what a player with Caglianone’s statistical profile might look like transitioning to MLB.
