College baseball insider clarifies major misunderstanding about 2024 MLB draft prospect Jac Caglianone

Jac Caglianone is currently ranked third in the top prospects for the upcoming MLB Draft. While he is set to embark on the next chapter of his baseball journey by being a top pick in the draft, a strange rumor has been doing the rounds.

Earlier today, baseball insider Kendall Rogers spoke about the possibility of college baseball stars choosing to play NCAA Baseball instead of choosing to sign for an MLB team due to the lucrative amount of NIL money on offer.

This triggered a rumor on Caglianone's future, with an avid fan indicating that he chose to stay with the Florida Gators instead of making the step up to the big leagues.

This rumor was immediately quashed by Rogers, who said the player in question it was not the Gators' two-way sensation, despite admitting that would be impressive for the 2023 College World Series runners-up.

"I can confirm it is NOT Jac Cags, although that would be awesome," Rogers said.

This further reinforced Caglianone's imminent move to the major leagues, where he looks set to become a top-five overall pick in the draft.
