Ya know, one of the criticisms of Jac I've seen repeated is that he chased high pitches.
I've also heard that the ABS strike zone is a bit lower than how it has been called before. Hitters are supposedly going to be able to lay off higher pitches better than ever with the change.
Don't know if it means anything, but Lane Thomas looked a lot like Kyle Isbel chasing that flyball down.
Also don't know if it means anything, but Lugo is getting hit HARD today.
Nick Loftin with a grand slam!

Then caught too far off second on a Salvy grounder...
Deal is apparently done, pending physical. No money disclosed yet.

Steve Stewart asks if we can play, "How far is it?" as Jac Caglianone steps to the plate.
Moments later, 460 feet for Jac's first hammer of the spring.
In an interview yesterday, Seth Lugo mentioned that the Royals have a faux-ABS system that they're using where they can tap their chests and have the coaches check a pitch without using up their actual challenges, but lets them get an idea if they're actually getting them right.
Super smart idea!
