Florida junior Jac Caglianone has been making headlines in the world of college baseball after tying an NCAA record for hitting a home run in nine consecutive games. Caglianone hit his 23rd homer of the season for the Gators in a recent game against Vanderbilt, a 401-foot blast that tied the record set by Nevada’s Tyler Bosetti in 2021.
Caglianone’s impressive streak has also contributed to a 24-game on-base streak and a 17-game hitting streak. Florida head coach Kevin O’Sullivan praised Caglianone’s remarkable achievement, calling it unprecedented. The Tampa native and product of Plant High School is now just one home run behind the NCAA leader as he continues his standout season.
In addition to his home run record, Caglianone set a school record with 33 homers in the 2023 season. The talented athlete is also making waves on the mound, boasting a 4-0 record as a pitcher with 49 strikeouts this season. As a top prospect for the 2024 MLB draft, Caglianone’s skills are drawing attention from baseball fans and scouts alike.
All eyes will be on Caglianone as he looks to break the NCAA record in the final game of the series against Vanderbilt. With his combination of power at the plate and dominance on the mound, Caglianone is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in college baseball. Stay tuned to see if he can make history with another home run in the upcoming game.
