The 2024 college baseball season has been highlighted by outstanding power performances.

Jac Caglianone’s NCAA-record streak of nine straight games with a home run is over now, but don’t think for one second the University of Florida star is on a cold streak. Caglianone -- a two-way star who reaches the upper 90s on the mound -- stayed red hot at the...

It's amazing how easy Jurrangelo Cijntje makes something look that, for the rest of us, is pretty much impossible. A human ability that only 1 percent of the population possesses. A baseball skill that just one modern-day pitcher has regularly used at the game's highest level. A wonderous anomaly, a...
Any given night, Florida two-way sensation Jac Caglianone is capable of making headlines. Thursday’s series opener in Nashville, Tenn., against Vanderbilt was no different.
