Vegas seems to favor Schwarber, Harper and Murakami with Cags somewhere in the middle of the pack, but I'm hoping for Jac to put on a big show tonight in the Home Run Derby!

Excited to see that Jac Caglianone will be participating in this year's Home Run Derby! I want to watch Cags show off his power and crush 500-foot bombs...

...just maybe not until after I buy a few more of his cards... 🙃

Since baseball never came up with a good word for a two-homer game and the World Cup is underway, I'm borrowing soccer's term for a two-goal performance to describe Jac's game last night - while also presenting two more of his cards from my collection.

Caglianone has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball this month and it has been incredibly fun to watch. While I don't expect his current .373/.453/.773 slash line, 1.226 OPS, and 9 home runs in June to become the norm, it's incredibly exciting to see him starting to tap into the potential that made him such a highly regarded prospect.

Now if we could just get the rest of the team healthy...

So far in June, Jac Caglianone has batted .379 / .468 / .742 with 7 homers and an elite-level 1.210 OPS. I'm not saying he is the one, but after a disappointing 2025 (relative to expectations) and a bit of an inconsistent start to 2026 it does seem like he's beginning to believe.

I will also say that I'm glad to already have a bunch of Cag's cards because at this pace, they're not going to get any cheaper...
