His second was creamed 426 feet. This comes after hitting home runs on Friday and Saturday as well, giving the 23-year old four home runs in three games, including seven RBIs this weekend as well. He has at least one or more hit in seven of his last 10 games as he begins to return to the fashion everyone knows he’s capable of at the plate. He’s showing his power and ability to make an impact at the plate.

Over the full course of the season Caglianone is now batting a total .275/.349/.480, with a .829 OPS. He has 12 doubles, one triple, and 12 home runs, with 27 RBIs, three stolen bases, and 35 runs scored.
Caglianone is currently on a one-year, $784k contract. Still in his pre-arbitration years, he is under club control through 2031, but could be on track to earn “super two” and be eligible for salary arbitration early. With Caglianone returning to his old ways and displaying his raw power again, if he continues this trend he could see a long-term contract extension come his way soon.
What's interesting with Caglianoe is that he is part of what is brewing to be a very special class of 2024 draft. Within just the top ten, Travis Bazzana, Chase Burns, Nick Kurtz, JJ Wetherholt, and Konnor Griffin were fellow draft picks. Notably missing from this list is former Georgia 1B Charlie Condon, who does have a .910 OPS in AAA Albuquerque, but also has 70 strikeouts against just 64 total hits.
