Jac Caglianone's 9
Florida’s Jac Caglianone continues to shine in what otherwise has been a dismal season by the program’s lofty standards.
The two-way star and projected top-five pick in the 2024 Major League Baseball draft tied the NCAA record when he homered for a ninth straight game in a loss at Vanderbilt on Friday. Nevada’s Tyler Bosetti in 2021 became the first player to go deep in nine straight games.
“It’s something we’ve never seen before, honestly, and we’ve had some really good hitters over the last 16 or 17 years,” Gators coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “I think that’s one of the most disappointing things as well. Jac’s having an incredible year and we’re just, like I said, we don’t have enough guys behind him.”
Caglianone’s 23 homers are second in the nation behind Charlie Condon’s 26 for Georgia. Caglianone connected 33 times last season to lead the country.
