Jac Caglionone 1B/LHP(College). DOB: 2/9/2000. B-L, T-L. 6'5", 245 lbs.
2022(Florida): .289/.339/.548, 7 HR, 5 BB, 21 K, 115 PA.
2023(Florida: .323/.389/.738, 33 HR, 17 BB, 58 K, 319 PA.
2023(Florida): 7-4, 4.34, 74.2 IP, 6.6 BB/9, 10.5 K/9.
True 2-way college prospect with light-tower lefthanded power and a high 90's FB that hits 100+. 2023 was his first season back from Tommy John surgery and he struggled with command, though seemed to get better as the season progressed. The FB is is best tool with 70 grade per MLB Pipeline. His secondary pitches are all 50 grade including a 90 MPH cutter which has the potential to be a plus secondary pitch.
At the plate, is a free-swinger who will swing outside the zone but keeps his K's in a manageable range while making plenty of hard contact.
Most scouts like him better as a hitter than pitcher, but he has a true chance to be a 2-way player. I could see him falling to the Giants at #13 if his predraft demands include an opportunity to play both ways. Do we want to see the Giants draft 3 consecutive 2-way prospects in the first round? Why not?
Heh Doc! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Thanks for your blog. Been enjoying it for years. Due to recent fails in free agency, found a nice story on the web about San Jose Giants pitcher Dylan Cummings on Sports Illustrated. Just became a fan of his.
