I heard one scout say they would have him at 80 power but they are worried about his chase rate vs professional pitching. If this was the 90's nobody would give a shit about his chase rate. I get worried about chase rate more when guys can't hit baseballs. Like Pratto and Melendez have decent power, but they just don't have the elite skill to put bat on the ball. Caglianone has the potential to do that. We all hope he becomes more patient and nukes what he knows he can hit but it's worked for Salvy despite the patience.

Also, last year looks like he got a lot better at avoiding strikeouts. He only had 26 Ks vs 27 actual walks (31 of his walks were intentional. His ****ing power numbers are literally insane over his collegiate career, which was basically a full MLB season worth of games 165 games - 75 HRs and 28 2Bs. That's just shy of a HR every other game. I'm so excited about this kid. |

You could make a case for an 80 on his future power, to represent his potential (though 80 is really intended to be a generational skill, a once-every-10-years type of thing). Like, you'd give Aaron Judge an 80. Probably wouldn't hand that to maybe one more guy in his generation. I'd probably say a fair and conservative grade on Caglianone is to give him a 55/65 power rating. Aggressive would be 60/70. Both are fair, IMO. |

Judges back ground doesn't scream "60 HR/season power". Of course he has the size, but shit I wouldn't expect him to be a 30 HR/season guy. Baseball prospectus had Judge as a 60 for future power. MLB.com had him at 40 for current and 70 for future. |

The chase rate thing is a little overblown, he was trying to carry his team so he would chase pitches to try to do something. When you are the only guy on your team that can make a difference should you just take walks?

I love the enthusiasm, the optimism and all that, but I’d maybe temper expectations, at least until the guy is playing and performing at a high level in the minors. For all we know, he could be the second coming of Dave Kingman. I like the signing too, but man, how about we pump the brakes a tad before we enshrine him into Cooperstown. Sorry to be a party pooper, but damn gang…

Player's actual game power may variate from their raw score - some guys get to more because of their hit tool and other skills. Some get to less. |

All I know is Vinny and Caglianone need to make an Italian Restaurant when Jac gets to the bigs. It will be a....hit.
