Jac Caglianone is set to make his highly anticipated home debut for the Kansas City Royals tonight at Kauffman Stadium, following his MLB debut on June 3 in St. Louis. Prior to the game, the top prospect was seen working with Royals roving instructor Rusty Kuntz and later signed autographs for fans.
