Kansas City Royals’ top prospect Jac Caglianone is now leading the minor leagues in RBIs with 50 after another big game on Saturday for Triple-A Omaha.

The No. 6 overall draft choice just last season out of Florida, Caglianone is now the No. 10 prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline. His home run on Saturday came off the bat at 107 mph. In addition to his run-producing ability, he’s also hitting .318 across Double-A and Triple-A.

The Royals enter play on Sunday at 28-25 and in fourth place in the American League Central, but they figure to be in the playoff race until the end. As a result, Caglianone could find himself called up sooner rather than later in order to help impact that playoff race. The Royals got to the playoffs last season, falling to the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series.

The following comes from a portion of his MLB.com prospect profile:

Caglianone’s power was arguably the best in the 2024 Draft class. The left-handed slugger maxed out with a 121.7 mph exit velocity as a junior and didn’t stop there with a 117.3 mph max EV in the Fall League, second-best among batted balls measured by Statcast. That comes from Caglianone’s major strength at 6-foot-5 and the long levers that come with such a frame. He significantly cut his swing-and-miss rate in college in ’24, but he also swung a ton in general with a 39 percent chase rate. That was down only a touch in the Fall League, and more advanced arms will be able to take advantage if Caglianone can’t rein in his approach.

At the big-league level, the Royals will take on the Minnesota Twins on Sunday at 2:10 p.m. ET. It’s unclear how long Caglianone will need to wait for his major league call-up, but recent reports have indicated it might not be long.

DICKINSON COUNTY – Four people were pronounced dead, after a two-vehicle head-on crash occurred on a Kansas highway in Dickinson County.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) at around 3:00 pm on Saturday, May 24th, Dickinson County contacted KHP to respond to an accident that happened on the K-4 highway at Mile Marker 217 (west of Dickinson Co. on K-4).

Reportedly, a two-vehicle head-on crash occurred where it was reported that 4 people died on the scene. KHP reports, multiple people were severely injured with a number of occupants being transported to Salina Regional Health Center.

Medical helicopters arrived on the scene to transport one person involved in the crash to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita.

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is currently on scene assisting with traffic, as the roadways are closed in the area. It is not determined when the roadways will reopen.

The investigation is still ongoing and any updates the Salina Post receives will be posted.

Sometimes one team simply has another team’s number. That’s the case for Kansas when it comes to TCU.

The Horned Frogs swept the Jayhawks in a three-game set during the regular season back in April, and demolished Kansas, 11-1, on Friday in the Big 12 Tournament Semifinals.

Kansas took an early 1-0 lead in the first, but TCU quickly countered with four runs in the second and never looked back after that. TCU added another run in the fifth and blew the game open with a six-run eighth.

The good news for Kansas is that it should have no problem making the NCAA Tournament.

The Jayhawks resume is more than impressive, currently ranked No. 25 in the nation, going 43-15 overall, and with a Big 12-best 20 win during conference play. Not to mention the Jayhawks won nine straight in April and eight in a row on two separate occasions.

Friday’s loss is still disappointing, but Kansas can still make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

The Jayhawks offense is one of the best in the nation, and the bullpen — excluding Friday’s performance — has been fantastic in May. Tune into ESPN 2 on Monday at 11 a.m. (CT), when the NCAA releases the field of 64.
