Will Jac Caglianone get drafted into the MLB? Taking a look at Florida pitcher's 2024 draft projection

Jac Caglianone is one of the best two-way MLB draft prospects in recent history. The Florida Gators product has shown the ability to excel with both the bat and the ball, and he leaves the Gators as a school icon.

Caglianone will get drafted into the MLB; it's only a question of how early he'll be off the draft board. Let's explore the two-way star's projection heading into next month's draft.

Jac Caglianone's 2024 MLB draft projection

Jac Caglianone is projected to be selected in the top five of every major draft analysis outlet. Most outlets see him going off the board with either the third or fourth pick in this year's draft.

The main question on everyone's mind is whether Caglianone will be allowed to play both ways in the pros. The Florida star has earned comparisons to Shohei Ohtani, arguably the best two-way player in today's MLB.

However, Ohtani had to prove that he could play both ways abroad before he could force the hand of his coaches in the MLB. Caglianone is fresh out of college, and the competition is remarkably different at the professional level.

Caglianone offers astonishing arm talent as a pitcher and impressive skills as a slugger. He's also level-headed and easy to coach, judging by his squeaky-clean image while playing at the collegiate level.
