The Kansas City sports scene has received plenty of attention over the past several years, much of which has been caused by Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Mahomes has led the Chiefs to three straight Super Bowl appearances.
As he prepares for his ninth season with the Chiefs, having already led the team to five AFC titles and three Super Bowl wins, Mahomes has spent some time watching over other sports in Kansas City.
Kansas City Royals star Jac Caglianone is currently playing in his first season in the major leagues, having been called up in June.
After a handful of games, the once best prospect in baseball, took to social media, sharing his gratitude for the opportunity he has with the Royals.
"06-03-25Grateful is an understatement," Caglianone said. "Ever since I could remember I always dreamed of being a professional baseball player.... The journey is just beginning! I’m so grateful to be a Royal! Most importantly, thank you Jesus! Colossians 3:23: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord and not for human masters-“
Upon the release of the post, Patrick Mahomes took to social media, sharing a kind note for Caglianone.
"ðªð½ðªð½ðªð½," Mahomes posted.
Jac Caglianone has now played six games since being called up by the Kansas City Royals. The designated hitter is currently batting .240 with a .560 OPS.
Before his professional career, Caglianone played for Florida at the collegiate level. He was drafted by the Royals with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft.
