Jac Caglianone recently wrapped up his career as one of the best power hitters in college baseball history. His remarkable career with the Florida Gators came to an end after his team lost in the College World Series on Wednesday. And on Friday evening, Caglianone posted a farewell letter to Gator fans and teammates, thanking them for all the memories.
“Thank you for everything. If you would have told me when I first got to campus all college baseball had in store for me I would’ve said you’re crazy. To be a part of such an amazing program for the past three years has been nothing short of unbelievable,” Caglianone wrote on his Instagram page.
“To Gator Nation,”
“I cannot thank you enough for the countless amount of support through the years not only to me but to my teammates and family. I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of the orange and blue as it is something I will cherish for the rest of my life.”
“To my coaches and teammates,”
“I love you all and am thankful to call you family. We’ve been through the ringer together but I will be forever grateful for the bonds we made throughout my time here. I wouldn’t trade these last few years for anything. Always and forever, GO GATORS!” Caglianone wrote in his letter.
Caglianone shares how he wants to be remembered
Caglianone said he hopes that fans recall how all-in he was for his team and for their program.
“Really just as somebody who gave it their all,” said Caglianone. “Day-in and day-out, I just wanted to fight for these guys next to me.”
Caglianone thinks nothing in his time at Florida could have been possible without everyone else in the dugout with him. That’s why he also took a moment after to thank all of them, whether his coaching staff or teammates, for helping him to accomplish what he did.
“Yeah, to be honest with you, I can’t thank the coaches here enough for all they have done to help me get to where I am today. The people that I’ve met along the way and played with? It’s something that I won’t ever take for granted,” Caglianone said. “I appreciate Sully for taking a chance on me in high school and getting to this point.”
