Royals Rookie Jac Caglianone Gets First Career Hit and RBI

  • On June 5, 2025, at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Jac Caglianone, a rookie outfielder for the Royals, notched his first MLB hit with a run-scoring double.
  • Caglianone's first hit came after a 0-for-5 debut on June 3 and a rainout postponed the June 4 game, leading to a doubleheader on June 5.
  • He hit a 91.4 mph RBI double off Cardinals' starter Miles Mikolas in the fourth inning, scoring Salvador Perez and giving the Royals an early lead.
  • ESPN Research noted Caglianone's exit velocities exceeded 95 mph on most early at-bats, and Royals manager Matt Quatraro praised how well he tracked the ball.
  • This milestone reflects Caglianone's rapid adjustment to the majors and offers the Royals a promising young player amid their AL Central playoff contention.
