ARLINGTON, Texas — Jac Caglianone has his first profession house run simply shy of two weeks after his debut with the Kansas Metropolis Royals, and a day after the 22-year-old prospect sat out of an enormous league sport for the primary time.
Caglianone received a lefty-lefty matchup by pulling a 95.5 mph fastball from Jacob Latz into the Texas Rangers bullpen in right-center discipline to provide the Royals a 3-0 lead within the second inning Thursday.
Vinnie Pasquantino hit a two-run shot off Texas starter Shawn Armstrong within the first inning of a bullpen sport for the Rangers.
The sixth general decide in final 12 months’s novice draft out of Florida, Caglianone went 0-for-5 in his massive league debut at St. Louis on June 3. His common was at .196 after going 0-for-4 within the opener of a collection at Texas and sitting out the second sport.
Caglianone, who performed his first six video games on the highway earlier than making his house debut in opposition to the New York Yankees, swung at Latz’s 2-2 pitch above the strike zone, and pointed towards heart discipline as he rounded second base after his 387-foot drive.
The 6-foot-5 Caglianone hit 15 homers in 50 video games mixed with Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha earlier than getting known as up.
