## Resource

Jac Caglianone is poised to make history as the youngest ever Home Run Derby winner in 2026, with his dad Jeff—former college player and now Tampa lawyer—pitching to him on the biggest stage. Their bond, forged through years of batting practice in Tampa, is more than sentimental; it’s the foundation of Jac’s power swing. Jeff’s reputation for elite BP sessions even helped shape other local stars. In a tradition that’s worked before—with Cal Raleigh and Bryce Harper—Jac’s dad isn’t just a coach; he’s his comfort, his confidence, and his connection to the game.
