Florida Gators first basemen and left-handed pitcher Jac Caglianone passed Matt LaPorta for the most home runs in Florida baseball history. 

Caglianone smashed a home run in the bottom of the sixth inning of the Gators’ elimination game against the Kentucky Wildcats. It was Caglianone’s 75th home run with the Gators and his 35th of the season, an all-time single-season record.

LaPorta played with the Gators from 2004-07, hitting 74 home runs in his four seasons. Caglianone hit 68 of his 75 in only two seasons, making the record even more impressive. 

After a brief freshman season where he hit only seven home runs, Caglianone’s first full season featured a 33-home run campaign. He’s followed that up with a 35 home run season which broke the single-season and program record.
