Royals shared top prospect Jac Caglianone's priceless reaction to MLB call-up
Royals shared top prospect Jac Caglianone's priceless reaction to MLB call-up
If there's one team that has desperately needed a power boost to the lineup, it's the Kansas City Royals. They rank at the bottom of the league in home runs, but they're about to add one of baseball's best power-hitting prospects in Jac Caglianone.
Yet, the Royals still managed to surprise the 22-year-old with the big news.
Coming off a 1-for-4 game where Caglianone slammed his bat at one point out of frustration, the Royals prospect expected the call into Storm Chasers manager Mike Jirschele's office to be about the outburst. Instead, he found out that he had to catch a charter flight to join the Royals in St. Louis.
His reaction was too good.
Caglianone, who was hitting .322 with nine home runs and 43 RBI in just 38 Triple-A games, was surprised to say the least. His immediate reaction was, "I need to call my dad."
Those videos never get old.

Dodgers Star Shohei Ohtani Reacts to Major Aaron Judge News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers fell to the New York Mets on Monday night, but it was another impressive game for two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, who hit his MLB-leading 23rd home run of the season. Additionally, the three-time league MVP tied the game for Los Angeles in the ninth inning with a sacrifice fly, his 39th RBI of the season.

In response to this, MLB named Ohtani its National League Player of the Month for May, joining New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge who won the award in the American League. Judge and Ohtani are the reigning league MVPs, each winning the award unanimously in their respective leagues last season. The two superstars also faced off in the 2024 World Series that Los Angeles won in five games.
